Training Joke #2

(Sometimes the setting changes, but the end is always the same.)

Two best buddies were camping in Alaska. Lifetime friends, they set aside a long weekend every year to hike in the wilderness.

On the last night, a bear breaks into the camp and is working his way into the tent. One man starts putting on his shoes, while the other shouts “There’s no time to put on shoes, you can’t outrun a bear!”

His friend looks at him and says “I don’t have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you.”

  2. hehe funny ,,
    let me join in :

    ***John O’Reilly hoisted his beer and said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me wife!”

    That won him the top prize at the pub for the Best Toast of the Night!

    He went home and told his wife, Mary, “I won the prize for the Best Toast of the Night.”

    She said, “Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?”

    John said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife.”

    “Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!” Mary said.

    The next day, Mary ran into one of John’s drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, “John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary.”

    She said, “Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he’s only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.”

  4. ya khalti I remember the very first time you told me this story – and it has stuck with me ever since. Every so often people ask how safe I feel in the region and I say (referring to other, more overtly foreign foreigners and Americans), “well, I just try to be the faster bear”. I know _exactly_ what I mean; they (unless they recognize the allusion) take it as a signal that my problems are larger than personal security :-).
