2/25/02: So the vulture says…

This is my all-time favorite joke, perhaps because a lot of people simply don’t get it. It’s a dumb joke for smart people. You’re smart, aren’t you? Sure you are. Enjoy.

These two vultures decide to fly south for the winter, but they’re getting on in age and they decide to take an airplane. So they’re at the airport and they’re walking up to the gate. They don’t have any luggage but the clerk at the counter noticed something funny – they were carrying a dead raccoon under each arm.

The clerk said, “Sirs, would you like to check those dead raccoon?”

So the vulture says, “Oh no. They’re carrion.”

If you don’t get it, just read the definition of carrion. Then you’ll get it but it won’t be funny….
