A hiker was deep in the forest and got lost. On the edge of starvation, he decided to kill the next animal he found. He saw a bald eagle, hit it with a rock killing it. Just as he was eating it raw, a game warden happened upon the scene, and arrested him for the same.

In court, the judge said, "Due to your circumstances of starvation, I am dopping the charges." The hiker said, "Thank you, your honor". The judge said, " just out of curiosity, what did the eagle taste like?" The hiker answered, "Not too bad, almost as good as a whooping crane, but not as good as a spotted owl."
