Subject: Compassion
Who says men do not have compassion?
Two deer hunters were standing on a ridge near a highway in rural eastern
Iowa on the opening day of deer season.
They both saw a trophy-class buck meandering towards them.
As the one hunter raised his gun to shoot, a funeral procession came
slowly by.
The hunter lowered his gun, took off his hat, and stood with his head
bowed until the procession was past.
Of course by then, the deer was long gone.
The other hunter exclaimed "Wow! That was the most sportsman-like act
I've ever seen!
You allowed this trophy buck to escape while showing such compassion and
kindness toward someone's dearly departed.
You are a great humanitarian and a shining example to sportsmen
throughout the world!"
The first hunter nodded and said; "Well, we were married for 45 years."
