    Two hunters are walking through the woods. One hunter falls down, hits his head on a rock and gets knocked out.

    The other hunter freaks and gets out his cell phone and calls 911. When the operator picks up, the hunter says “Help! My buddy fell down and hit his head on a rock. He’s not moving! I think he’s dead!”

    The operator says, “You think he’s dead? He could still be alive! You need to make sure.”

    The hunter says okay and puts down the phone. The operator hears a gun shot. The hunter picks up the phone and says, “Okay, I made sure he’s dead, now what?”

      I think this was the first version of that I heard:

      My horse broke his leg. I called the vet and he said “Not much I can do. You’re gonna have to shoot 'em.”

      I don’t know why.

      But if he don’t start getting better soon I’ma have to shoot 'em again.
