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. He 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. In court, he pleads 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?"

Perhaps the cynical times we live in have caused me to completely lose my sense if humor but I absolutely do no get this joke.
I tried that, paulycy. He just ignores it. I think it has too many word for him to read, and it’s confusing for him. Otherwise, you’d think he’d comply with Jim’s wishes, don’t you think.
Not all jokes are funny. Not all blog pimps posses a sense of humor. This one, apparently, doesn't.
Yes, and he’s no damn Foster Brooks, either.
I just want to be very, very sure that it has been given every chance to mend its miserable, selfish ways. There can be no mistake: it has been told how Jim wants his forum run. Let the consequences be on its own head.
I'm quite sure it's enjoying the brief jump in attention-hits it's getting. It can't see past them.
Oh well.
Your lack of respect for your fellow FReepers is sickening.
He’s been officially warned, eh? Sounds like it’s time to release the kitties.
One beautiful autumn day, a Park Ranger discovered a man sitting in the woods chewing away on a dead Bald Eagle.
'Hey mister, the Bald Eagle is a protected species, and killing one is punishable offense', said the Park 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 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.'
Indeed. lol
Yes, I’ve gone around and around over this issue with him before, he’s one of those who pretend not to understand the issue, and he will attempt to wear you down by asking the same questions over again as if he had not already been answered. Very trollish.
Wow, you guys are in a mood! I thought those jokes were funny! :-)
My son got a good giggle, too!
Look forward to seeing you on next week's joke thread. Same place, about the same time.
SHOOT! I got out the halftrack with the M1’s and the M240’s and was ready to head out to Albuquerque; at least that’s what my codebook says.
And now you tell me it ain’t so.
Hmmmm. Is that second post really from YOU?
