People often mention the exotic food they ate. How exotic could it be compare to the following mountain man. Somewhere east of some big city of California, in an evening, a ranger climbed to the top of a mountain. He saw a guy sitting near a camp fire with a pot above the fire. Ranger: Hi, there. I have not seen a single person for three days. How are you doing? Mountain man: I am fine. I have not seen a human for more than twenty years. Ranger: What are you cooking? it smells delicious. Mountain man: It is spotted-owl stew. Ranger: The spotted owl is on the endangered species list, I have to arrest you. Mountain man: Come on, I have been here for more than 25 years, I do not know the endangered species list. Ranger thought for a minute: Ok. I will not arrest you, but you must throw the stew away. Mountain man stood up, took the pot away from the fire and was going to throw the stew away. Ranger: Stop. What does the spotted-owl taste like? Mountain man thought and said: It is a crossing between peregrine falcons and bald eagles. (In 20 some years this mountain man’s persistence eating puts all three birds onto the USA endangered species list. 现在好啦, “前几年才被从濒临绝种的稀有动物名单上除名”, 山人肯定被关了)
