Today's chuckle

This one is from Mike Leiderman:

The judge says to the defendant: "You're charged with killing and eating an American condor. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty," says the guy. "If it please the court, the bird was already dead in its cage. I just took it out, roasted it on a spit and ate it."

The judge looks impressed.

"Well, that's a different story; a legitimate alibi,'' he says. "Case dismissed."

As the guy starts to leave, the judge stops him. "By the way," the judge asks. "What does condor taste like?"

"Oh," says the guy. "Sort of a cross between a bald eagle and a peregrine falcon."
