MISTAKEN IDENTITY

At a conference, a US lawyer befriended a Czech colleague and invited him to the States. The Czech’s visit started with some of the more famous sights and during the weekend the American took him to the Rocky Mountains. The two lawyers hiked all day and in the evening, after barbecuing some sausages at the campfire, crawled into their sleeping bags and fell into an exhausted sleep. At night, drawn by the lingering smell of their meal, a bear came investigating and as he did not find any sausages, he ate the Czech. His host woke up at the very last moment and saved his own life by climbing a nearby tree. He spent most of the night in the tree, waiting until the bear finally lumbered off. Panic-stricken, the American ran through the forest, until he encountered a ranger and told him his story. Together, they followed the bear’s tracks, which led them to a cave. Awakened by the human voices, out came two huge bears.

“Which one ate your friend, the female, or the male?” - asked the ranger.

The lawyer hesitated and then pointed at the male. The ranger shot the bear and let his mate run away. They cut open the animal’s belly, but found no traces of human remains. Which just shows you that if ever a lawyer tells you that the Czech is in the male, don’t believe him.
