A big game hunter went on safari with his wife and she insisted that her mother be invited as well.

The first morning, while deep in the jungle, the wife awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother. The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and they started out into the bush to look for her.

In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: his mother-in-law was backed up against a big rock, and a large lion stood right in front of her.

The wife cried, “What are we going to do?”

“Nothing,” said the hunter-husband. “The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it.”

Indeed! Then there was the one about the cannibal who passed his mother in law in the jungle.
