A truckload of hunters were looking for a place to hunt. They pulled into a farmer's yard and the driver, Jim Bob, went up to the farmhouse to ask permission to hunt on the farmer's land.
The old farmer said, "Sure you can hunt, but would you be doing me a favour? That old donkey standing over there is 20 years old and sick with cancer, but I don't have the heart to kill her. Would you do it for me?"
Jim Bob replied, "Of course I will," and strolled back to the truck.
While walking back, Jim Bob decided to play a trick on his hunting friends. He got into the truck and when they asked if the farmer had said if it was alright, he said, "No, we can't hunt here, but I'm going to teach that old fellow a lesson he won't forget."
With that, Jim Bob rolled down his window, stuck his gun out and shot the donkey. As he shouted, "To be sure, that will teach him," a second shot rang out from the passenger side and one of his hunting mates yelled, "And me, I got the cow, too!"
