Hunting Moose

From the inimitable Mr. Sushi comes this too-clean joke:

Two Norwegian hunters from Minnesota got
a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose.
They bagged six.

As they started loading the plane for the
return trip, the pilot said the plane could take
only four moose.

The two lads objected strongly. "Last year we
shot six, and the pilot let us put them all on
board; he had the same plane as yours."

Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were
loaded. However, even on full power, the little
plane couldn't handle the load and went down
a few moments after take-off.

Climbing out of the wreck one Norski asked the
other, "Any idea where we are?" "Yaaah, I tink
we's pretty close to where we crashed last year."

One less life?

From the AP wire:

INKOM, Idaho - Torri Hutchinson's cat might just have one less life to live. Hutchison was driving along Interstate 15 one day recently when a motorist kept trying to get her attention and pointing to the roof of her car.

She said she was wary of the man, but wondered if perhaps her ski rack might have come loose.

She pulled over to the side, but kept her doors locked and the motor running.

The man pulled up behind her. Hutchinson rolled down her window to hear the man frantically shouting, "Your cat! Your cat!"

He reached for the roof of her car and handed the shocked Hutchinson her orange tabby.

She had driven about 10 miles with the cat on top of the car, and didn't even notice the feline when she stopped for gas.

Hutchinson said Cuddle Bug, or C.B. for short, had climbed into the back of her car as she was getting ready to leave. She put him out, but he must have jumped on the roof while she wasn't looking, she said.
