Two hunters hired a float plane to take them to a remote cabin on beautiful mirror lake. Instructions were to pick them up after 10 days of hunting and fishing.
The bush pilot glides his float plane in to the camp beach 10 days later to find the hunters with two coolers jammed with fish and ice, a moose, a bear, a muskox, and three large deer. He laughs and tells the hunters they are WAY over wieght limits for safe takeoff. The hunters confer and tell the pilot that last year they took off with same load on the same kind of plane and THAT pilot got off the lake! "Guess he was a better pilot."
This year's pilot, not to be outdone, says "Well since they got off last year he'd try."
The two hunters gleefully loaded all the fish and deer into the plane followed by their gear. They strapped the muskox and moose to the pontoons and climbed aboard.
Nervously the pilot taxis to the far end of the lake and turns around.
Throttling all the way the plane bounces and churns through the mirror lake finally clearing the water. The pilot banks hard turn aound the lake desperately attempting to gain altitude. At the far end of the lake he's heading to the top of the ridge and straining to clear it.
Just at the crest a tall tree snags the pontoons and the whole craft crashes into the forest. As the three scramble out of the wreckage the pilot screams at the hunters "See! I told you we were over loaded! How could last years pilot have gotten you out?" The hunters smiled and proudly slapped the pilot on the back and said....
"No you did great! We made at least a half mile farther than last year!" :head :blackeye
Sarge...how did your plane do this year? :t
