Hiking

I found a book lately called "Deepest Thoughts" by Jack Handey. I started to read a few of them and each one seemed more funny than the previous one. So my question is: is this one funny or have I just gone looney???

" A funny thing is if you're out hiking and your friend gets bitten by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going for help, then go about ten feet and pretend you got bit by a snake. Then start an argument about who's going to go get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke."
