Do alcohol and gunpowder mix?
I hasten to say that this joke is for hunters only.

Two guys take up positions in a deer stand. After some hours have passed, one hunter gets bored and pulls out a bottle of whisky. He offers his companion a drink but the guy refuses. The hunter swigs down a couple of belts. More hours pass -without a deer showing up. The hunter continues to drain the bottle of whisky -always offering a drink to his companion. His companion always refuses the drink.

As might be expected, near the end of the day, a really good 8 point buck shows up. The companion, totally sober, fires -and misses.

The drunken hunter waves his rifle in the direction of the buck - and kills him dead on the spot.

The companion is, understandably, upset. He tells the drunk: " I've been cold sober all day and missed. How the hell did you do that?"

The drunken hunter says: " C'mon! It was easy! Who could miss a whole herd of deer?"

You realise, of course, that this is how Aussies fight? We all just aim for the guy in the middle of the enemy formation. Big Grin


Cheers, Dave.
