Joke of the Week #35

Two explorers are trekking through Africa, when suddenly a lion rushes out of the brush and chases after them. The lion chases them up a tree; immediately, one of the explorers begins tying on his running shoes.

"I say, old chap, what might you be doing that for?" the second explorer inquires.

"Well, I'm going to climb down and start running away." his friend replies.

A look of shock crosses the second explorer's face. "Are you crazy? You can't outrun a lion!"

"I don't need to outrun the lion, I just need to outrun you."
