You might get a little chuckle out of this
« on: July 30, 2019, 10:49:56 PM »
This is a true story .

Thirty plus years ago I had found a farm land that I could hunt . It was owned by an elderly couple that had a swimming pool company . I was given permission to hunt deer but the only stipulation was that I check in at the farm house when I was going to hunt .

Now one very interesting thing about the farm house was that they had a large fenced in area with a good number of Fallow deer , you know the kind that have spots there whole life and tall antlers . I would hear them grunting like pigs when I would go to the house .

Now I had been to the farm several times and this one time I knocked on the door and the elderly lady came to the door and she asked me " You like deer don't you ? "

 At which time I said ' Yes I do . "

She then told me that her husband said that she needed to get rid of a few of her deer .

The next thing she asked me was " Would you like one of those deer ? "

 I said " How much do you want for one ? "

She said I could just have one and she would give me one .

Wow this is real neat I was thinking to myself .

 I said " Sure I will take one . "

Then she asked me " Where would you keep it ? "

I said " In my freezer . "  :o

Threw out my life I have had moments where my mouth takes off without full understanding of what is truly being said by another person . It was about a half second after I said " In my freezer " that a little voice in my head whispered " W R O N G  A N S W E R !!! " :knothead:

I was immediately told to leave and never come back again .

It was a very nice place to hunt .  :banghead:

Shoot, if I had previously been given permission to hunt, I could see myself giving the same answer,  i've gotten in trouble before by taking peoples' words too literally too.

Too good but too bad...

A fall at it which I would too easily have taken.

She clearly wasn't a farmer. Those were pets not livestock.  You should have talked to her husband, I bet he would have given praise for your answer 😉
Relax,

Yeah, non hunters often fail to understand our sense of humor.

This might be on par with when I complimented one of my teachers for expecting another baby... realizing  she wasn't pregnant as the words slipped through my mouth  :knothead:

I just turned on my heels and quickly left the scene...
