NUTTY JOKE

Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

THERE IS A GUY WHO WANTS TO GO MOOSE HUNTING, SO HE
TELLS HIS FRIEND, "HEY, LET'S GO MOOSE-HUNTING THIS
WEEKEND." THE OTHER GUY AGREES. WELL, THE WEEDEND
COMES AROUND AND THEY GET ALL THEIR GEAR TOETHER AND GO
OUT TO THE WOODS. THE FIRST GUY TELLS HIS BUDDY,
"OK, YOU STAY HERE BY THIS OLD HOLLOW TREE STUMP AND
DON'T FIRE TILL YOU SEE A MOOSE. I'LL GO IN THERE AND
TRY TO FLUSH ONE OUT." SO, THE GUY GOES IN THE WOODS
AND ABOUT A HALF-HOUR LATER HE HEARS GUN SHOTS. HE RUNS
OUT AND SAYS TO HIS FRIEND, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO SHOOT
TILL YOU SAW A MOOSE." THE GUY SAYS, "I DIDN'T SHOOT
WHEN A SNAKE CRAWLED OVER ME. I DIDN'T SHOOT WHEN A
WOODPECKER STARTED PECKING ON MY HEAD. BUT WHEN
THOSE TWO CHIPMUNKS CRAWLED UP MY PANT LEG AND SAID,
"WE'LL EAT ONE NOW AND SAVE ONE FOR LATER......"
