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 and he
said, „The plane
can only take four of your elk; you will have to leave
two behind.“
They argued with him; the year before they had shot six
and the
pilot had allowed them to put all aboard. The plane was the same
model
and capacity. Reluctantly, the pilot finally permitted them to
put
all six aboard. But when the attempted to take off and leave the
valley, the little plane could not make it and they crashed into 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
we landed last year!“
