This guy wanted to join a very exclusive Country Club,
He was told he was in if he could carry out three tasks in order.
1) Drink a bottle of Malt Whiskey 2) Shoot a Grizzly Bear 3) Make love to a beautiful girl
All to be completed by midnight.
First he downs the whiskey, and then slightly wobbly he grabs a gun and heads off.
It is 11.55pm and there is no sign of him. Then the door to the club bursts open, the chap staggers in covered in blood and scratches. his clothes shredded, he stares round the bar and asks
"Where is this beautiful girl I have to shoot?"

I think it predate Benny.
On this side of the pond the version I heard back when was - In a bar in Alaska a Texan is bragging about his state. A local hunter comes up and says - "Listen, buddy. Here in Alaska, you ain't ___ until you've done three things: Drink a fifth of Alaskan whiskey, shoot a polar bear, and make love to an Eskimo woman."
Rest of the joke follows from there.

Turns out there is actual history here. From John Elting's _Swords Around A Throne_ i.ibb.co/QY4z1cj/wenches.png(IMVAO, everyone interested in military history should read Elting. The best description around of how pre-Industrial Age armies _lived_) (Great topic for my 200th post, eh ?)
