The City Commissioners went hunting every year right before budget time. They had hired a pilot to fly them to up Canada to hunt moose. They bagged four.
As they started loading the plane for the return trip home, the pilot said: The plane can take only two moose.
The Commissioners objected strongly, and repeatedly, finally, after hours of discussion stated: "Last year we shot four moose, and the pilot let us put them all on board, and he had the same plane as yours."
Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all four were loaded onboard.
Unfortunately, even at full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and crashed a few minutes after takeoff.
Climbing out of the wreck, one of the Commissioners asked the others, "Any idea where we are?"
A Commissioner replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year."
