This CAN'T be any older than the startrek/t.p. joke, so here goes:

	Two men were out hunting, a few miles from nowhere, and decided
to sleep out in the wilderness for the night.  In the morning, one of
them woke the other with a scream.

	"What's the matter!?" asked the other man.

	"A rattler just bit me," he moaned, as the snake slithered out
of his sleeping bag.  He was curled up in evident agony.

	"Ohmigosh!  Where'd he bite you?"  

	The bitten man looked up at his partner imploringly.  "On my...
you know..."  His partner rolled his eyes.

	"Do you know what to do about snake-bite?"  Neither of them knew.
"Well, there's a phone booth about 5 miles down the trail.  I'll run and
call a doctor and see what he says."

	He started running.  When he got to the phone, he called a doctor,
and listened soberly to the instructions.  He ran back.  The snake-bite
victim was in bad shape.

	"What'd the doctor say?" he panted.

	His friend took a deep breath.  "You won't like this," he said.

	"I can take it."

	"He says you're gonna die."
