The 3 Hunters
by Dan Pineda

Three hunters, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and a Deaf Cowboy, are gathered around a campfire. The 3 have been drinking and bragging about the virtues of their home states.

Suddenly, Clint Eastwood says, "Watch this." He opens a bottle of tequila, takes a swig, tosses it in the air, pulls out a pearl-handled revolver and shoots the bottle cleanly in two.

"It’s a shame to waste that good liquor," John Wayne says.

"It’s OK," Clint replies, "Where I come from, we’ve got plenty of that"

"It’s OK," Clint replies, "Where I come from, we’ve got plenty of that."

Not to be outdone, John Wayne pulls out a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. He pulls off the cork, takes a drink, throws the bottle in the air, whips out an assault rifle and blasts the bottle, sending shards of glass everywhere.

"Shame to waste good whiskey," Clint says.

"It’s OK," John says, "We’ve got plenty in my state."

At this point, the Deaf cowboy stands up. He pulls out a bottle of Henry’s, twists off the cap and guzzels the entire beer. He throws the bottle high in the air, pulls out a shotgun, empties both barrels into John Wayne and neatly catches the bottle.

Clint stands in SHOCK. The Deaf cowboy calmly puts the shotgun down.

Clint stands in SHOCK. The Deaf cowboy calmly puts the shotgun down. "It’s OK," he signed "We’ve got plenty of them in my state, besides this bottle is worth a NICKEL."
