The mountain trail is the new "bath house"

So, I was going on my Sunday evening hike and I came across these two men on the trail. We all stopped a bit to talk about the canyon and I asked them how far up the trail went and so forth. Anyway, the "leader" of the two starts asking me a lot of personal questions and then introduces himself with a hand shake. The quiet one looks me directly in the eye, and with no irony says, "They call me Hawk." Besides the obvious question of who "they" was, I was tempted to just come right out and say that I wasn't interested in being raped in the forest.

I think I need to start carrying mace.

  1. Wow... that one scene from Pulp Fiction just popped into my head. Be safe! Oh yeah, and get yourself a stun gun.

  2. At least you could strum on the banjo to distract yourself while it went down.

  4. Whoa! That's just bizzaro. I think you might just need to carry you some mace just in case you run into more Hawks. Better to do that than to squeal like a pig, boy!

  5. Hawk? Did he really call himself Hawk?!? Bwaaaahahahahahahha.
    How did you ever keep a straight face? Oh, yeah I guess the man rape scenario probably helped with that.

  6. You escaped unscathed. Lucky boy...

    I'm not sure about the mace. Maybe just pepper spray.
