Two safari guides in Africa were having a drink on the veranda and watching
the sun go down when they became engaged in an argument over which was the
better guide. Since each simply refused to believe the other's hunting
stories they were unable to resolve the dispute themselves. They decided the
only way to decide was to hunt the very next day and the first of them to
kill a lion would win the distinction. A bet was also made that the loser
must buy the winner a pint of his favorite whisky. At dawn the next morning
one hunter was off with his bearers, beaters, Land Rovers, and all of the
other equipment needed for a successful hunt. All this while the other
hunter was sitting on the veranda, his feet up on the railing, watching the
hunters leave and drinking his morning coffee.
The hunter on safari hunted high and low all day and just before dark
finally was able to surround a lion with his native hunters and beaters. As
the circle became tighter and tighter the lion finally broke cover and ran
into the open. The hunter drew a careful bead on the lion and just as he was
about to squeeze off the killing shot, the other hunter suddenly swooped
over the hunting site in a helicopter, pulled out a machine gun and shot and
killed the lion thus winning the bet.
The hunter on the ground was outraged. Back at the lodge he confronted the
other hunter about his poor sportsmanship and his lack of honor to the
spirit of the challenge. When asked to explain himself the winner said "I
don't understand why you are so upset. I thought everybody knows the
shortest distance between two pints is a strafed lion."
