Examples of use word backwoods Example 1There were these two Engineers who decided
they would go moose hunting in the
backwoods (synonyms of word backwoods above) of British Columbia. As
it
happened, they lucked out and got a moose. Unfortunately, they
were
about a mile from their truck. They were having a tough time
dragging the
animal by the hind legs when a Wildlife Biologist
happened upon them.
He said, "You know, the hair follicles on a moose
have a grain to them
that causes the hair to lie toward the back.
The way you are dragging
that
moose, it increases your coefficient
of friction by a huge margin. If
you
grab it by the antlers and
pull, you will find the work required to be
quite
minimal."
The Engineers thanked him and started dragging the moose by the
antlers. After about an hour, one Engineer said, "I can't believe how
easy
it is to move this moose this way. I sure am glad we ran
across that
Biologist."
"Yeah.", said the other. "But we'
re getting further and further
away from our truck."

weeks each year to his summer home in the
backwoods (synonyms of word backwoods above) of Maine. Every
summer, he would invite one friend or another to stay with him there
for a
week or two.
One summer he invited a Czechoslovakian
friend to visit him. The
friend, happy to get anything free from a
lawyer, eagerly agreed. When the
time came, they spent a wonderful
time, getting up early every morning
and enjoying the great
outdoors.
One morning, as the lawyer and his Czechoslovakian friend were
picking
raspberries and blueberries for their breakfast, they were
approached
by two huge bears--a male and a female.
The
lawyer noticed them in time to run for cover. His friend, however,
was
not so lucky. The male bear reached him and swallowed him
whole.
Seeing this, the lawyer ran back to his Mercedes and raced for the
nearest town to get the local sheriff. The sheriff grabbed his hig
h-powered
rifle and raced back to the berry area with the lawyer.
All the while,
he was plagued by visions of lawsuit from his
friend's family. He just
had to save his friend.
Luckily, the
bears were still there. "He's in THAT one!" cried the
lawyer,
pointing to the male.
The sheriff looked at the bears, leveled his gun,
took careful aim, and
shot the female.
"What did you do that
for?!" exclaimed the lawyer, "I said he was in
the other
bear!"
"Exactly," replied the sheriff. "Would you believe a lawyer who
told
you that the Czech was in the male?"
