Two divers meet. One say "Hi" the other says "where?!"

Two hunters meet. Both of them are dead.

German:

  1. Joke: "Hi" is spoke like "Hai" German for shark. So when two divers meet and one says hi, the other thinks, where is the shark??

  2. Joke: "to meet" is translated in german as treffen. Treffen can also the mean to hit. So the joke goes from a freindly meet up between hunters to both of them hitting eachother while on the hunt and dying.
