A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.In the middle of the night the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry to bother you but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket." The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says, "I've got a better idea...let's pretend we're married." "Why not," giggles the woman. "Good," he replies. "Get your own damn blanket." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One beautiful autumn 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, killed it, and started to eat it. Of course as luck would have it, as soon as he got started, a couple of park rangers happen upon him and arrest him for killing an endangered species. Later 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. To everyone's amazement, the judge ruled in his favor! In the judges 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!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This guy that continually gains weight and is very sick and fat. He is always eating turkey right from the refrigerator. It keeps making him sick and fatter but he can't stop. His friends and family worry about him but he keeps on with his addiction. Finally, after years of sickness, he stops and loses a lot of weight and looks great. His friends ask him how he did it. He says, ..."I quit cold turkey."
