Joe is telling his friend about his recent deer hunting trip to Montana. “We were out in the woods all morning and our guide decided that we should take a break along the river bank. I wasn’t feeling tired so I went for a stroll while the others were resting. As I was walking, a grizzly bear burst out of the brush in front of me.”


“A bear? What did you do?” asks the friend.

“Well, I turned and started running like hell through the woods with the bear after me. The bear almost caught up with me but slipped and fell down. I kept running and the bear almost caught up with me again twice, but slipped and fell each time. I finally reached the river bank. The guide saw the bear chasing me and shot it dead.”


“Wow!” replies his friend, “That’s incredible. If I’d been in that kind of trouble, I would’ve shit myself.”

Joe says, “What do you think that bear was slipping on?”
