Down in California there are a few AF SERE guys stationed there. One of them went out to test his desert survival skills out by himself. While looking for water he became disoriented due to no landmarks and wandered in the opposite direction of his camp. After three days of wandering around he became desperate for water. Now we all know you are NOT supposed to drink blood or urine but he thought blood couldn't be that bad as he could not produce any urine. So he looks for animals and only sees the buzzards above. Out he goes in an open spot to play dead and lure one of these suckers in. One comes down and walks up to him and WHAM!! he kills it and opens it up and starts drinking the blood. Well just over the next ridge, unbeknownest to him was road. Sitting there were two Highway Patrol officers. Why were they just sitting there? One was very interested in California Condors, which was just what our survivor had just unwittingly killed. As Condors are and endangered species this cop is curious to see them feeding so he walks up over this ridge to see this paramilitary looking guy munching on this bird. The cops grab him and haul him into jail and arrest him. When he is brought before the judge he explains who he is and what happened. Realizing this was a legitimate case of survival the judge agrees to let him go with a fine but asks him, "Since Condors are endangered and therefore cannot be hunted, what did it taste like?" To which the SERE guy responds after thinking about it for a minute, "Well your honor, somewhat between a Spotted Owl and a Bald Eagle!"

The other joke was deleted so I had to toss one out there, hope you enjoyed it!!!
