Are we swapping jokes? Here's one.

An American wants to see a Bengal tiger.  So he goes to India and hires a guide named Azziz.  After a pre-outing briefing, they head off into the bush.  A few miles down a narrow trail off the road, they both hear a loud growl from behind some tall reeds close by.  Clearly rattled, Azziz begins putting on his tennis shoes as if he intends to run for it.  The American asks, "What are you doing?  I thought you said it was useless to try to out run a tiger!  Azziz says, "True. True.  But all I have to do is outrun you."
