Back a while ago... There was a camp of a timber company deep in the wild forests of Canada, where a new working crew had just arrived. The newcomers where told by the veterans that they had to go through the initiate rite before anyone would regard them as real lumberjacks.
First, they told them, they had to drink a pint of mooneshine without blinking and then go out in the woods and wrestle with a grizzly.
Finally, they had to come back to camp and screw the old cooking lady - then they'd proven themselfes. None wanted to go first but finally one stepped forward, seized the pint and swallowed all of it in one drag! That was nothing, he said, and stumbled out among the bushes to find a grizzly. We'll never see him again, said the others and went in for the night. Early next morning, the whole camp awakened by the arrival of the bold newcomer. He was in a terrible shape, bleeding all over, so they had to carry him inside and lay him down on a bed. There he mumbled to them: "Right!, now where's that ol' lady I would wrestle with?" |
