A very wealthy lawyer and had a summer house in the country, which he retreated to for several weeks each summer. Each summer, the lawyer would invite a different friend of his to spend a week or two up at this place, which happened to be in a woodland section of Maine.
One summer, he invited a Czechoslovakian friend to stay with him. The friend, eager to get a freebee from a lawyer, agreed.
They had a splendid time in the country - rising early and living in the great outdoors.
Early one morning, the lawyer and his Czechoslovakian friend went out to pick berries for their morning breakfast. As they went around the berry patch, gathering blueberries and raspberries in huge quantities, along came two huge Bears - a male and a female.
Well, the lawyer, seeing the two bears, immediately dashed for cover. His friend, though, wasn't so lucky, and the male bear reached him and swallowed him whole.
The lawyer ran back to his Mercedes, tore into town as fast has he could, and got the local sheriff. The sheriff grabbed his shotgun and dashed back to the berry patch with the lawyer.
Sure enough, the two bears were still there.
"He's in that one", cried the lawyer, while pointing to the male. Visions of lawsuits from his friend's family danced in his head. He just had to save his friend.
The sheriff looked at the bears, and without batting an eye, leveled his gun, took careful aim, and shot the female.
"What did you do that for!" exclaimed the lawyer, "I said he was in the other bear!"
"Exactly," replied the sheriff, "and would you believe a lawyer who told you that the Czech was in the male?"
