Short Story #1.

Bob and Bill are two best friends who have known each other for years. One day, they decide to go hunting in the woods, with good old-fashioned double-barreled rifles as their weapons of choice.

After an hour or so of fruitless walking, Bill suddenly drops to the ground. Upon seeing this, Bob panics and dials for help.

Bob: Hello, operator? I think my friend's just died!

Operator: OK, calm down, sir. I can help. First, let's make sure he's really dead.

Bob: [BANG] OK, now what?
