And along these lines:

An old trapper and a young upstart were out hunting grizzlies.  The old
trapper kept telling tales of how many of these mighty bears he had hunted
over the many years.  Little did they know, however, that they were the
ones being hunted, as a few hundred yards behind them stalked a grizzly.
Suddenly, the bear began snorting and charging.  The old trapper began
fumbling with his gun to get it ready.  The young buck quickly sat down and
opened his backpack, revealing a pair of track shoes.  "You fool", said the
trapper, "you can't outrun a grizzly!!".  Without hesitating, the young
buck replied, "I don't have to outrun the grizzly, old man, I only have to
outrun you!".
