That's a Good One!

Bosun the Bird Dog

A guy treats himself to a hunting vacation with a high-brow outfitter. When he arrives at camp, the outfitter greets him with a tricked-out Jeep, a top-of-the-line rifle and an impeccably trained hunting dog named Bosun.

The hunt goes perfectly. The Jeep handles the terrain well, the rifle aims true and Bosun is the best bird dog this hunter has ever seen. As he settles his bill with the outfitter, he books a trip for the following year and says, “I want that same rifle, that same Jeep and Bosun.” The outfitter makes the note and our hunter departs.

The following year, the hunter arrives back at camp anxious to get started. The outfitter greets him and says, “Here’s the same rifle you used last year; I have your same Jeep gassed up and ready, and here is Ruger, he’ll be your bird dog this year. I’m afraid Bosun had a terrible accident.”

Concerned, the hunter asks, “Was he shot?”

“Oh no, nothing like that,” says the outfitter. “One of our hunters accidentally called him Skipper for a week, and now all he does is stand around and bark at everybody.”
