Two lawyers were out hunting when they came upon a pair of tracks. They stopped and examined the tracks closely.

The first lawyer announced, "Those are deer tracks. It's deer season, so we should follow the tracks and find our prey¹."

The second lawyer responded, "Those are clearly elk² tracks, and elk are out of season. If we follow your advice, we'll waste the day."

Each attorney believed himself to be the superior woodsmen, and they both bitterly stuck to their guns.

They were still arguing when the train hit them.
