Duck hunting

Bubba and Earl decided they’d try duck hunting. They gathered their guns and the dogs and the ammunition and their orange hunting hats and tramped about for hours, but they had no luck whatsoever.

When they came out of the woods at dusk, they saw that all the other hunters were carrying large bundles of dead ducks.

“Gee,” Bubba says to Earl, “everyone else seems to be doing pretty well for themselves. What do you think we could be doing wrong?”

“I dunno,” said Earl. “Maybe we’re not throwing the dogs up high enough.”
