That was a good one. I heard a story the other day. There was a guy out in Washington state who was hunting and killed a Spotted Owl. Unfortunately for him, he was caught by a game warden. On the day of his court hearing the judge asked the man, "How do you plead. Guilty or innocent?" The guy responded, "I can't lie to you your honor. I'm guilty. I have been out of work for two years, lost all my savings in the stock market, and have three small children who were hungry. The only thing I saw that day in the woods was that owl. I didn't want to shoot it but I had to feed my family." The judge was moved to tears by the man's honesty and replied, "How can I find this man guilty? If I were in his shoes I may have done the same thing. I can't punish a man for feeding his family! Case dismissed!" As the man was walking out of the court room another gentlemen called to him, "Hey buddy, what did that Spotted Owl taste like?" The man responded, "Well, come to think of it. It kind of tasted like an American Bald Eagle." Have a great day folks!
