Funniest thing that's happened while out

[mjdiedrich]

My wife and I were vacationing in the Pacific NW. Went for a hike in the Cascades. We hear something walking in the underbrush. I say "There's a deer in there, let's be quiet and maybe we can get close and see it!" We tiptoe down the trail. We hear the deer getting closer and closer. About 6 feet in front of us a black bear walks out. I start backing up and look over my shoulder and my wife is already 100 yd down the trail. I swear to God she set a new world record that day!

This doesn't quite fit in the weirdest, so a new thread...

I was backpacking the Pennine Way many years ago, and had camped on a mountainside somewhere.

In the morning, I needed to do what bears do in the woods. Since it was completely deserted, I just dug a hole a short distance from the tent; completely in the open - no woods here. Great view!

While in mid flow, I heard a rumbling sound. Suddenly, two Harrier jets came into view doing low level fun stuff. One just over my head (it felt like a few feet but must have been much more) and the other actually level with me.

I swear I could make out the pilot's helmeted head looking right at me while I answered the call of nature!

So much for deserted.

Rick.

Where were you camping at the time?
