Here is one of my favorite jokes.

The sales manager and the project manager go on a camping trip. It's the middle of the night and the project manager wakes up and notices the sales manager's sleeping bag is empty. He sticks his head out of the tent to investigate. Here comes the sales manager running as fast as he can, a bear right behind him. Just before they get to the tent the bear pounces and the sales manager dives down into the dirt. The bear sails straight into the project manager's chest. The sales manager scrambles up, races off again, and shouts back over his shoulder, "You skin that one, I'll go catch another one!"
