It's hunting season

[markem]

A man goes hunting and gets lost in the woods.

Remembering the universal distress signal of firing 3 shots, he fires 3 shots into the air and waits.

After an hour he fires 3 more shots. Another hour goes by and still no one comes to help.

Preparing for the next sequence he says to himself, “I hope somebody comes this time because these are my last three arrows.”
