Once upon a time, a beautiful young woman was hiking up the back side of El Cap with what appeared to be a very sleek & sporty backpack on her back. It had comfy leg straps, and she was singing a little tune by Red Rider as she climbed.
Along comes a Park Ranger making his way down
the trail, and he greets her with a stern look.
"Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Morning! It's a beautiful day here in Yosemite.
I'm taking a hike," she replies.
"Is that a parachute on your back?" he asks,
"Whether it is or isn't, I'm just hiking," she replied.
"Don't you know BASE jumping is illegal
in Yosemite National Park?" he growled.
"Can't you see that I'm hiking right now?"
she patiently replied wondering what was wrong
with his eyesight.
"But you have all this equipment, Ma'am.
I'll have to take you in and charge you with 'Intent'."
"If you do that I will charge you with rape,"
snaps the irate woman.
"I didn't even touch you!" grouses the Ranger.
"Yes, that's true ... but you have all the equipment."
