En fasansfull historia

Apropå höstens incidenter där jägare har blivit attackerade av björnar:

One day a forest ranger and his young trainee go up into the mountains to check on some isolated campgrounds. Up near the tree line, they take a break for lunch. While sitting on boulders in a clearing and enjoying the vast panorama below, a giant grizzly bear comes lurching out of the woods, heading right for them.

Reaching into his pack, the forest ranger pulls out a pair of running shoes. He casually puts his sandwich down, takes off his hiking boots, and ties up the Nikes. The bear, sniffing hungrily, lurches closer, its giant yellow claws exposed and ready. Blood is in the air.

”Dude, what are you doing?” asks the trainee, scared shitless. ”We all know you can’t outrun a grizzly bear!”

”But I don’t have to outrun him,” the forest ranger says. ”I just have to outrun you.”
