One night, at the lodge of a hunting club, two new members were
being introduced to other members and shown around. The man
leading them around said, "See that old man asleep in the chair
by the fireplace? He is our oldest member and can tell you some
hunting stories you'll never forget."
They awakened the old man and asked him to tell them a story.
"Well, I remember back in 1944, we went on a lion hunting
expedition in Africa. We were on foot and hunted for three days
without seeing a thing. On the fourth day, I was so tired I had
to rest my feet. I found a fallen tree, so I laid my gun down,
propped my head on the tree, and fell asleep. I don't know how
long I was asleep when I was awakened by a noise in the bushes.
I was reaching for my gun when the biggest damn lion I'd ever
seen jumped out of the bushes at me like this: RRROOAARRR!!!
... ... ... I tell you, I just shit my pants."
The young men looked astonished and one of them said, "I don't
blame you, I would have shit my pants too if a lion jumped out
at me."
The old man shook his head and said, "No, no... not back then,
just now, when I said RRROOAAARRR!!!"
