Two hunters hire a small plane to take them to a remote area of Canada. Upon dropping off the hunters, the pilot tells them, "Remember only one moose, because the plane wouldn’t be able to take off with more weight than that." The hunters go off.
A week later when the plane returns to pick them up, the two hunters are standing1 by the lake with two moose. The pilot fumes2, "I told you guys only one moose, and you'll have to leave one because we won't be able to take off with that much weight." "Oh, come on," beg the two hunters, "Last year the pilot let us take two moose on, you're just a chicken."
Not wanting to be accused of being a coward, the pilot allows the two to bring both moose on the craft. The plane starts across the lake, straining to take off. The pilot tries and tries to no avail and the plane crashes into the trees at the end of the lake. A while later after coming to one of the hunters gets up and looks at all the scattered3 debris4 of the wreck5 and says, "Where are we?" To which the other hunter replies, "Oh, I'd say about a hundred yards farther than last year."
两个猎人租了一架小型飞机去加拿大的一个偏僻地区打猎。要下飞机的时候，飞行员特意嘱咐他们：“千万记住，只允许带一只驼鹿，因为飞机只能承受那么大的重量。”听飞行员说完，两个猎人就打猎去了。
一个星期过后，当飞机返回原地接他们时，飞行员却看到猎人的身边有两只驼鹿。飞行员生气地说道：“我提醒过你们，只能带一只驼鹿。你们必须放弃一只，因为飞机根本承受不了这样的重量。”“哦，帮帮忙，”两个猎人哀求道，“去年那个飞行员就带了两只驼鹿呢。你真是个胆小鬼。”
飞行员害怕被扣上胆小鬼的帽子，于是就勉强同意了。飞机刚刚越过一个湖，就开始逐渐下沉。飞行员使尽浑身解数也未能逃脱劫难，飞机最终坠落在湖边的一片树林里。过了一会儿，一个猎人站了起来，看着飞机的残骸说：“我们这是在哪里？”另—个猎人回答：“哦，我觉得比去年还远了100码呢。”
