Do As I Say

My dad told me yesterday about one of his cousins who'd gone deer hunting with his sons over in the National Forest. They didn't have any luck, and they were all loading everything back in their trucks for the drive home. My dad's cousin told them to make sure, no matter what they saw, to not stop & shoot at anything once they reached Cartwright Road. Which, as everyone knows, is where one of the local game wardens lives.

So you can imagine everyone's surprise when, somewhere on Cartwright Road, my dad's cousin stopped his truck, jumped out & fired twice....then suddenly threw his gun back in the truck & took out like a bat out of hell.

He'd shot the dummy deer.

My dad said it cost his cousin a $600 fine & his hunting license. And that even though he knows it's wrong to laugh at someone else's misfortune, my dad thought it was pretty funny especially after his cousin had lectured everyone else to not do exactly what he did.

A clear case of "Do as I say, not as I do". Heh.

That's just dumb. Is he a knucklehead?

Not usually.

The best one I've heard is a guy who recognized that it was the dummy deer, carefully stepped the required distance away from the road, and proceeded to empty his gun in it. Blew that dummy all to hell. They charged him with destruction of gov't property....though I don't remember if they were able to make it stick.
