Old Wild West

"Old Wild West"*

*An old Wild West fort is about to be attacked.
The wily old General sends for his trusty Indian Scout.

"Yumti-Bi," he said, "you must use all your thirty
years of skill in trying to estimate the sort of
army we are up against here."

Yumti-Bi layed down and put his ear to the ground...

"Large Heap - war party," he says, "maybe three
hundred braves, four chiefs, two on black horses,
two on white stallions. All have warpaint...many
many guns. Medicine man also with them."

"Good grief!" exclaims the General, "you can tell all
of that just by listening to the ground???"

"No, General," replied the Indian, "I can see under the gate..."

"Duck Hunt"*

*Three doctors are in the duck blind and a bird
flies overhead. The general practitioner looks
at it and says, "Looks like a duck, flies like a duck...
it's probably a duck," shoots at it but misses and
the bird flies away.

The next bird flies overhead, and the pathologist
looks at it, then looks through the pages of a bird
manual, and says, "Hmmmm...green wings, yellow
bill, quacking sound...might be a duck." He raises
his gun to shoot it, but the bird is long gone.

A third bird flies over. The surgeon raises his gun
and shoots almost without looking, brings the bird
down, and turns to the pathologist and says,

"Go see if that was a duck."
