Inspired by a setup by Stan Kegel, and wanting to use my wrong answer to one of his pun riddles, I present the following.… Read the rest…
This was posted in alt.callahans a few years back by Dr. Jest (aka Shaun Pike).
Doctor Jest enters the bar in good spirits, and offers the following about The Yukon during the Gold-rush.
Enter two cityborn lads named Carter. Looking for pack animals, they are sold a trio of caribou by a wily local. Hitching up their unusual draught animals to a pack sled they are greeted by a fellow prospective prospector name of Dart who hitches a ride on … Read the rest…

An Australian Bushland farmer decided one day that he would sell his cattle as a cash protection against a predicted drought. He called a cattle buyer who examined the bovines and set a price.

I recently spent a week camping in the deep woods. The camp grounds I was in had a black bear problem — I personally saw at least two different bears. The bears would regularly wander into occupied campsites, sniff around, and frighten the bejeezus out of any inexperienced campers. (They also raided any food left out in the open, of course.)
