Three friends – a lawyer, a doctor, and a preacher – went hunting together. They’d just stepped into the woods when a huge buck ran by, prompting all three men to fire at the same time. The deer fell dead, but only one bullet hole could be found.
Naturally, all three men wanted to know whose it was.
After a brief argument – with all three men claiming to have been the one to kill the dear – the lawyer suggested they contact an authority on the matter, so the hunters took the deer to the local registration center and asked a game warden for help. The game warden said he’d be willing to take a look at the deer to see if he could spot any forensics that would identify the successful hunter.
He carefully examined the deer, asked a few questions, and finally declared, “The preacher is the man who shot this buck.”
Amazed at his confidence, the three hunters asked how he was so sure. Stooping down, the game warden pointed out the bullet wound. “See here. It went in one ear and out the other.”
