SNAPDRAGON’S JOKE
Two hunters were relaxing in their lodge, making small
talk. One of them asked, "So, what do you hunt?"
"Unicorns," came the surprising answer.
Startled, the first hunter gasped,
"Really? How do the hell do you do that?"
"Well, I find a virgin and hire her to help me.
They're the only thing that attracts unicorns.
I have her wait in the woods until a unicorn comes up
to her. When it does, it sets off a snare."
The first hunter sighed, "Boy, they must be hard to find.
I've heard of 'em, but I've never seen one.
" The second hunter said, "Yeah,
and there ain't many unicorns either."
