Rose from Montana told me this story about a fellow that the Forest Service
Ranger discovered sitting by his campfire chewing away on a roasted Bald
Eagle.
“Hey mister, the Bald Eagle is a protected species, and killing one is
punishable offense”, said the Ranger.
The man was swiftly arrested and ushered before the judge. In court he
pleaded innocent to the charges against him, claiming that if he didn’t eat
the bald eagle he would have died from starvation.
“I was so hungry” complained the defensive camper, “the Bald Eagle was the
only food I could find!”
To everyone’s amazement, 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 do I ever plan on
it. But I’d like to know:
What did it taste like?”
The man answered, “Well, it tasted like a cross between a Whooping Crane and
a Spotted Owl.”
