15. An old joke: Two Yanks flew to Canada on a hunting trip.

They chartered a small plane to take them into the Rockies for a week hunting moose. They managed to bag six. As they were loading the plane to return, the Pilot said the plane could take only 4 moose.

The two guys objected strongly. "Last year we shot six. The pilot let us take them all and he had the same plane as yours."

Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded. The plane took off. However, while attempting to cross some mountains, even on full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down.

Somehow, surrounded by the moose bodies, only the Yanks survived the crash.

After climbing out of the wreckage, one Yank asked the other, "Any idea where we are?" He replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year."
