Sven’s Deer
Ole and Sven were out deer hunting in Northern Minnesota. Sven shot a really nice buck and Ole was helping him pull it out of the woods. They had a rope tied to one of the hind hoofs and they were pulling and struggling, going through the deep snow with the other three legs sticking out and getting caught on every clump of brush and whatnot along the way.
About that time, the Game Warden came along. After checking their deer tag, he said, “You know, it would be a lot easier if you tied the rope to the antlers and pull him out head first. Then the legs wouldn’t get caught on everything.
Ole looked at Sven and said, “By golly, I think he is right.”
The Game Warden went on his way and Ole and Sven re-tied the rope to the antlers and started pulling. It was a lot easier. After about 20 minutes, Sven said, “Ole, that Game Warden sure was right. This is alot easier, but aren’t we getting further away from the car?”
Ponder This:
When told the reason for daylight savings time, the Old Indian said, “Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.”
