Find Yourself In A Mess

Against his better judgment, the big game hunter is talked into taking both his wife and her mother along on one of his expeditions. It does not go well. The mother-in-law is, if anything, harder to get along with in the wild than she was in the city. And to make matters worse, she won't even abide by the simple camp rules designed to keep the safari safe.

One night after dinner, the hunter's wife realizes her mother is missing. Panicked, she rushes to her husband and begs him to institute a search. He sighs, and together they set out.

Before they've gone far, they hear throaty growling. Soon they come upon a small clearing in which the mother-in-law stands, backed up against thick, seemingly impenetrable jungle brush, and facing a huge male lion.

The wife whispers urgently, "What are we going to do?"

"Nothing. The lion got himself into this mess, now let him get himself out of it."
