Survival Test
I learned this one from a Texan who told it on Texas A&M.
I'm telling it on Cal Poly Pomona, Southern California's local
aggie school. You can, of course, modify it ad lib.
Three students had just completed a wilderness survival
course. There was one student from UCLA, one from USC, and
one from Cal Poly Pomona. For their final exam, they were
supposed to drive out into the middle of the Mojave Desert and
spend the whole day on a thirty-mile hike; what's more, they
were each allowed to take only one item.
They drove to their appointed starting place early and
parked the car. The UCLA student pulled out a bottle of wine
and put it in his pack, then started off. The USC student
pulled out a big hunk of cheese, put it in his pack, and started
off. The Cal Poly student took out a screwdriver, unscrewed the
front door of the car, hefted it, and started off.
After an hour or so of hiking they were pretty tired, so
they stopped for a rest. The UCLA student took a big swig of
wine. "I'm sure glad I brought this wine," he said, "because
when I get thirsty I can drink it!" And they started off again.
After another hour they stopped again. The USC student took
a big bite out of his cheese. "Boy, I'm glad I brought this
cheese," he said, "because when I get hungry I can eat it!"
They started off again.
After yet another hour they stopped for a third time. The
UCLA student and the USC student looked at the guy from Cal Poly.
Finally one of them asked, "Why *did* you bring that car door,
anyway?"
"Well, I don't know," said the Cal Poly student. "But I'll
tell you what: if it gets any hotter I'm sure as hell gonna
roll down the window!"
