Was she white?
If mooses are meese, then caribous are caribee.
Excellent question, HR! But I don't know if jurors in Nørway are encouraged to practice their psychic powers while deliberating guilt as they are in the US, are they?
If they aren't, since the most the government there could really hope to prove through evidence of the oral assault itself is criminal møøse-chafe, I would think the case would likely only be prosecuted as a lesser möösedemeanor offense. :-)
The Moose, by Woody Allen
I shot a moose, once. I was hunting up-state New York, and I shot a moose, and I strap him on to the fender of my car, and I'm driving home along the west side highway, but what I didn't realize was, that the bullet did not penetrate the moose. It just creased the scalp, knocking him unconscious. And I'm driving through the Holland tunnel - the moose woke up. So I'm driving with a live moose on my fender. The moose is signaling for a turn, y'know. There's a law in New York state against driving with a conscious moose on your fender, tuesday, thursday and saturday. And I'm very panicky, and then it hits me: some friends of mine is having a costume party. I'll go, I'll take the moose, I'll ditch him at the party. It wouldn't be my responsibillity.
So I drive up to the party and I knock on the door. The moose is next to me. My host comes to the door. I say "Hello. You know the Solomons". We enter. The moose mingles. Did very well. Scored. Two guys were trying to sell him insurance for an hour and a half. Twelve o'clock comes - they give out prices for the best costume of the night. First price goes to the Burcowiches, a maried couple dressed as a moose. The moose comes in second. The moose is furious. He and the Burcowiches lock antlers in the living room. They knock each other unconscious. Now, I figured, is my chance. I grab the moose, strap him onto my fender, and shoot back to the roads, but - I got the Burcowiches. So I'm driving along with two jewish people on my fender, and there's a law in New York State ... tuesdays, thursdays and especially saturday.
The following morning the Burcowiches wake up in the woods, in a moose suit. Mr. Burcowich is shot, stuffed and mounted - at the New York Athletic Club, and the joke is on them, because it's restricted.
As much as I dislike Woody as a person, this bit (with his perfect timing and delivery) is one of the funniest pieces of comedy I have ever heard.
same - I could not resist passing it on.

I think they should capture it and put it in a zoo, then
paint the bars gold.
Then we could all sing.
"White Moose....in a gilded gage....."
Everyone smile and say......CHEESE!
There are three moose in my back yard right now. None of them looks like a king. A mama and two calves. One is completely light tan, the others are very dark underneath and light on top. All are wary. The dog is excited about the moose, but can't see them, maybe can smell them. Dog knows a few words, moose being one of them.
Little St. Simons Island, in southern Georgia, is loaded with white deer. They aren't albinos though.
