    By the time I got to Wendigo[Isle Royale] this summer, I was ready; especially that young lass at the ranger station. Now she was quite the dish. If ya know what I mean.

    Oh, to be appreciated someday!

    In an effort to add diversity to the workforce, five cannibals get hired by the School District. During the welcoming ceremony the superintendent says, "You're all part of our team now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat. So please don't get into trouble and eat any of the other employees." The cannibals promised.

    Four weeks later the superintendent returns and says, "You're all working very hard, and I'm very satisfied with all of you. However, one of our janitors has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to him?" The cannibals all shake their heads no.

    After the boss left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others, "Which one of you idiots ate the janitor?" A hand raises hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals replies furiously, "You FOOL! For four weeks we've been eating Assistant Principals, Curriculum Directors, Subject Area Leaders, Team Leaders, Supervisors, Science teachers and Area Coordinators and no one noticed anything, and YOU had to go and eat the janitor!"

    Gotta be a teacher to REALLY appreciate this one.

    I can't decide if I should be offended by the tastless Cannibal jokes, or not. Guess I'll decide after dinner.

    I have seen similiar in a corporate setting....instead of the assistant principals etc. It was vice presidents, contract management, consultants, legal affairs, HR etc.

    I find this thread totally offensive. As an canibalism survivor, the emotional scars are still very fresh. I nearly lost my life last summer to a thru-hiker. Read about my harrowing expeirience in the following thread:

    "To Serve Man" is an episode of the television series The Twilight Zone.
    The story is based on a short story To Serve Man written by Damon Knight. The title is a play on the word serve having the dual meanings "assist" and "provide as a meal".

    That was one of the first Science Fiction stories I ever read. My uncle had a lot of 40s and 50s pulp magazines and I read it at his house. A classic.

    Yeah they had company for lunch at the end of the movie. At least Don Johnson didn't have to stay at the "farm".

    11 days. That's how long it takes a starving group to resort to cannabilism.

    11 days might be a on the quick side.

    In the case of Dudley and Stephens it was about 19 days.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Dudley_and_Stephens

    With the Rugby players I believe I read it was three weeks, but can't find a cite.

    And those represent two significantly different forms of cannibalism, the first involved murdering someone still alive the second the eating those who had already died. The first is wrong, the second understandable.
    Love people and use things; never the reverse.

    Mt. Katahdin would be a lot quicker to climb if its darn access trail didn't start all the way down in Georgia.
