Willard, Maynard, and Bud are out in the woods hunting deer

Willard and Maynard hear something in the bushes about 15 yards ahead and aim their rifles. Bud emerges from the bushes and shouts, “Don’t shoot! I’m not a deer!” Maynard promptly shoots Bud right through the heart. Willard says, “You shot Bud! I can’t believe you did that! And he even said he wasn’t a deer!” Maynard says, “Well damn … I thought he said he WAS a deer!”
