English Joke
Two winkies went on a hunting trip. After it began to get dark, they thought it was about time to go home. They unfortunately got lost.
One winkie said to the other, “I read that if you get lost in the woods you should fire three shots in the air. It is supposed to be an “S.O.S.”
So, the second winkie shot three times into the air. After waiting for a few hours, they repeated the signal. They tried it over and over, but nobody came to help them.
Finally, the second winkie said, “O.K., I’ll try again, but we’re running out of arrows!”
