>Here in North Carolina, we're in the middle of deer hunting season, which means that the woods are full of people armed with weapons with a higher caliber than their IQ.

>Which brings to mind the story of the man who took his wife deer hunting (apologies to those who may be offended by the sexism - actually female deer hunters are no stupider than males).

>Anyway, they decided to split up to improve their chances of finding a deer. The man explained to his wife that the woods were full of dishonest hunters who might try to claim her deer if she managed to kill one. In case this happened, she should fire her rifle into the air three times, to summon him for assistance.

>They went their separate ways, and soon he heard a shot, followed by three quick shots. He followed the direction of the sound, and found his wife holding a man at gunpoint.

>She said "It was just like you told me, I killed this deer fair and square and this man says its his." The husband pointed his rifle at the stranger, who placed his hands in the air and said "She's welcome to keep it, I would just like to get my saddle back."

That's an old joke and it originally began with "Here in Kentucky." Interesting you chose to substitute North Carolina... :o)
