Pilots Know Best

"What Good Comes Out Of Drinking?"

The preacher was having a heart-to-heart talk
with a backslider of his flock, whose drinking
of moonshine invariably led to quarreling with
his neighbors, and occasional shotgun blasts
at some of them.

"Can't you see, Ben," intoned the parson, "that
not one good thing comes out of this drinking?"

"Well, I sort of disagree there," replied the
backslider. "It makes me miss the folks I shoot at."

"Pilots Know Best"

Two hunters got a pilot to fly them into the far north for
elk hunting. They were quite successful in their venture,
and bagged six big bucks. The pilot came back as
arranged to pick them up.

They started loading their gear into the plane, including
the six elk. But the pilot objected. "The plane can take
out only four of your elk; you will have to leave two behind," he stated.

They argued with him; the year before the had shot
six and the pilot had allowed them to put all aboard,
and the plane was just the same model and capacity as this.

Reluctantly the pilot finally permitted them to put all six aboard.

But when they attempted to take off and leave the
valley where they were, the little plane could not
make it, and they crashed in the wilderness.

Climbing out of the wreckage, one hunter said to
the other, "Do you know where we are?"

"I think so," replied the other hunter. "I think this is
about the same place where the plane crashed last year."
