A certain lawyer was quite wealthy and had a
summer house in the country, to which he retreated
for several weeks of the year. Each summer, the
lawyer would invite a different friend of his (no,
that's not the punch line) to spend a week or two
up at this place, which happened to be in a
backwoods section of Maine.
On one particular occasion, he invited a
Czechoslovakian friend to stay with him. The
friend, eager to get a freebie off a lawyer,
agreed. Well, they had a splendid time in the
country - rising early and living in the great
outdoors.
Early one morning, the lawyer and his
Czechoslovakian companion 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. Well, 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. "What did you
do that for!" exclaimed the lawyer, "I said he was
in the other!"
"Exactly," replied the sheriff, "and would YOU
believe a lawyer who told you that the Czech was
in the Male?"
