A lawyer and his Czechoslovakian friend were camping in a backwoods section
of Maine. Early one morning, the two went out to pick berries for their
morning breakfast. As they went around the berry patch, gathering blueberries
and raspberries in tremendous quantities, along came two huge bears - a male
and a female.
The lawyer, seeing the two bears, immediately dashed for
cover. His friend, though, wasn't so lucky, and the male bear reached him and
swallowed him whole. The lawyer ran back to his Mercedes, tore into town as
fast has he could, and got the local backwoods sheriff.
The sheriff
grabbed his shotgun and dashed back to the berry patch with the lawyer. Sure
enough, the two bears were still there.
"He's in THAT one!" cried the
lawyer, pointing to the male, while visions of lawsuits from his friend's
family danced in his head. He just had to save his friend.
The sheriff
looked at the bears, and without batting an eye, leveled his gun, took
careful aim, and shot the female.
"Whatdidja do that for!" exclaimed
the lawyer, "I said he was in the other!"
"Exactly," replied the
sheriff. "Would YOU believe a lawyer who told you the Czech was in the male?"
