Two moose hunters from Texas are flown into a remote lake in Alaska.
They
have a good hunt, and both manage to get a large moose. When the plane
returns to pick them up, the pilot looks at the animals and says, "This
little plane won't lift all of us, the equipment, and both of those
animals
- you'll have to leave one. We'd never make it over the trees on the
take
off."
"That's baloney," says one of the hunters.
"Yeah," the other agrees. "You're just chicken. We came out here last
year
and got two moose and that pilot had some guts. He wasn't afraid to
take
off!"
"Yeah," said the first hunter, "and his plane wasn't any bigger than
yours!"
The pilot got angry and said, "Well, shoot. If he did it, then I can do
it.
I can fly as well as anybody!"
They loaded up, taxied at full throttle, and the plane almost made it,
but
didn't have the lift to clear the trees at the end of the lake. It
clipped
the tops, then flipped, then broke up, scattering the baggage, animal
carcasses, and passengers all through the brush.
Still alive but hurt and dazed, the pilot sat up, shook his head to
clear
it and said, "Where are we?"
One of the hunters rolled out from being thrown into a bush, looked
around,
and said "I'd say...about a hundred yards farther than we got last
year...."
