Two Aggies, Johnny and Bobby, went on a hunting trip to Alaska every year. In '98 they hired a bush pilot to fly them to a remote lake, and arranged that he would fly back two weeks later to pick them up. Before he left them, the pilot told them "This plane will carry out you, your gear, and ONE moose. Don't shoot more, 'cause it'll just go to waste. The plane can't carry more weight than that." Two weeks later he flies back in to the lake and there's Johnny and Bobby waiting with big grins and TWO dead moose. There is much discussion and finally they convince him to take both moose, explaining that they always shoot two moose; that they are confident it will be OK, etc. The plane is loaded up. The pilot lines up the plane for take-off. They skim across the lake faster and faster, lift-off, and gain altitude as they head toward the trees that surround the lake. But the weight is too much. They're not high enough to get over the trees. The landing gear snags a branch, and the plane crashes. Hours later, Johnny is the first to regain consciousness. He drags himself over to where Bobby is laying in the debris, also badly injured. Bobby is just then coming to, and, groaning, sees Johnny and asks him "Where are we, Johnny?" Johnny replies "We're about two hundred yards farther from the lake than when the other plane crashed last year." ------------------------------------------------ <<<<Aggie, I remembered this one from the time I told you about>>>
