ROTFL.

When that scandal hit it made me wonder what kangaroo meat tasted like,
and I had heard it was better for you.  I went into a MacDonalds and
specifically requested a kangaroo burger.  The girl behind the counter
didn't know what to say.  The manager overheard this and basically threw
me out without me saying another word.
