With Friends Like That ..

Two men were walking down a path in the woods. It was nearing nightfall and they were tired from their long hike. They were headed back to their starting place when one of them noticed behind them came a huge black bear running VERY fast toward them.

One of the men dropped to the ground and was fumbling with his blue duffel bag.

The other man said, ``What in the hell are you doing? There's a huge black bear running toward us!''

The man on the ground replied, ``I'm putting on my running shoes!''

``You're putting on running shoes!? Do you expect to OUTRUN that bear??''

The man replied, ``I don't have to outrun that bear. I just have to outrun - you!''
