A guy is caught by a ranger eating a bald eagle and is consequently
put in jail for the crime. On the day of his trail, the conversation
went something like this:
Judge: "Do you know that eating a bald eagle is a federal offense?"
Man: "Yes I did. But if you let me argue my case, I'll explain what
happened."
Judge: "Proceed."
Man: "I got lost in the woods. I hadn't had anything to eat for two
weeks. I was so hungry. Next thing I see is a Bald Eagle
swooping down at the lake for some fish. I knew that if I
followed the Eagle I could maybe steal the fish. Unfortunately,
in the process of taking the fish I killed the Eagle. I figured
that since I killed the Eagle I might as well eat it since it
would be more disgraceful to let it rot on the ground."
Judge: "The court will take a recess while we analyze your testimony."
15 minutes goes by and the judge returns.
Judge: "Due to the extreme circumstance you were under and because you
didn't intend to kill the Eagle, the court will dismiss the
charges. But if you don't mind the court asking, what does a
Bald Eagle taste like?"
Man: "Well your honor, it is hard to explain. The best I can describe
it is maybe a combination between a California Condor and a
Spotted Owl."
