Lawyer Hunting

"Can't use that rifle here," said the park ranger to an intending hunter. "It's closed season. No hunting bears, no hunting deer, no hunting ducks."
"What? Is there anything I can hunt?" asked the disappointed hunter.
"Well," said the ranger, "if you go back into town, you can hunt lawyers. It's always open season on them."
So the hunter drove back to town, but just as he drove over an intersection, he accidentally smashed into another car. All at once, the street was full of lawyers, all of them offering their services to the two parties in the collision.
Mindful of what the ranger said, the hunter thought this was too good an opportunity to miss, and reached for his rifle and took aim, only to find the same ranger tapping on his shoulder.
"Sorry, boy, if you pull that trigger I'll have to run you in," said the ranger.
"Why?" asked the confused hunter. "You said I could hunt lawyers any time."
"I said you could hunt them," explained the ranger. "I didn't say you could trap them!"

5 Well, Ogre, I would threaten to sue you, but then you could shoot me, although this might be a trap too, then I could sue for both offending me, AND violating the hunting laws..........

6 If I were to shoot, there'd be no suing going on...
