    A bunch of hunters go north to hunt bear. On the first night they are camping and a bear raids their camp and begins destroying tents. Hunters are running everywhere trying to get away. One of the hunters sits down and begins putting on his running shoes. His tent mate says "What the heck are you doing!?!" to which he replies, "I don't have to out- run the bear, I just have to out-run YOU!"
