If I am ever a Hero’s Sidekick

  • I will not assume that I know what’s going on.
  • If I go anywhere for rest and relaxation, I will not take the hero along with me.
  • I’ll tell the hero HE can go into town for the information, while I watch the camp.
  • I will realize that I do have a life of my own.
  • I will realize that the Hero is going to get me killed, if I am not careful. That he avenges my death because he feels guilty about this is not something that will make me happy.
  • I will be very quiet. I will not act boisterous and draw attention to myself. The probability of getting killed is much higher if the enemy knows who I am.
  • If I am tasked to carry this very important message, I will make copies and use FedEx to get them to their destination.
  • I will accept the fact that I am not the Hero and the sexual advances made towards me by the beautiful captured spy is a lure to kill me and escape.
  • If I am the town drunk, I should stay the town drunk and happily live out the next 40 years instead of getting killed by cleaning myself up.
  • If I am a noted warrior, I am still allowed to wear clothing with sleeves.
  • My shirt is allowed to be buttoned.
  • If my partner is named Dirty Harry, I should realize that there is a reason for that and ask for a transfer.
  • If my partner is Don Johnson, I can do the world a favor.
  • I will adapt a skill at pattern recognition. If the last 4 sidekicks have died gruesomely, so will I.

Bear in Bar

A bear walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a beer. The bartender says,
”Sorry, we don’t give beer to bears in bars.”
The bear replies, ”If you don’t give me a beer, I’ll eat that lady over
there.”

The bartender says, ”Go ahead.”

So the bear eats the lady and asks for a beer. The bartender says, ”Sorry, we
don’t give beer to bears on drugs.”

”What do mean,” says the bear. ”I’m not on drugs.”

”Yes, you are, that was the barbituate.”

Three in a Tent

I was out camping with a group of friends, and the two I had to share a tent with turned out to be a new couple. It was a wonderful day on the farm, but we were rather bewildered by this sheep that kept following us around, bumping into things. It was totally blind, and as it turned out, very dependent on people. It would find us by listening, but if were silent for a few moments, it would baa to get some attention.That night, with the lights out, the other two were giggling in their bed-roll, and we were passing jives across the tent, and the sheep just kept stalking around the tent. Apparently we were a little loud, being natural city people, so the rest of the camp was following the exchange.”Well, you haven’t got anybody to cuddle tonight,” he said, “and I have her!”Well, it was dark and I just had to tease them a little.”You have her over there?””Yes, so there.””Oh … then who is this in bed with me here?”There was a moments silence, so naturally …”Baaaa?”My reputation never recovered.
