Bald Eagle




One day a man was walking in the woods when he got lost.  For two days he roamed
around trying to find a way out.  He had not eaten anything during this period
and was famished.

Over on a rock ledge he spotted a bald eagle, killed it, and started to eat it.
Surprisingly, a couple of park rangers happen to find him at that moment, and
arrested him for killing an endangered species.

At court, he plead innocent to the charges against him claiming that if he didn't
eat the bald eagle he would have died from starvation.

The judge ruled in his favor.

In the judge's closing statement he asked the man, "I would like you to tell me
something before I let you go.  I have never eaten a bald eagle, nor ever plan
on it.  What did it taste like?"

The man answered, "Well, it tasted like a cross between a whooping crane and a
spotted owl!"
