I always thought a dead, frozen one would do more harm... And, as I am from Sweden, the country of fairness, isn't this a little bit discriminating?I mean, has anyone asked the moose if they want to jump out of an airplane? Because if they do...

[Quadmonkey]

OK, if you can't wake a sleeping bear for a photograph, can you just go pet one for fun even if it wakes it?
Also, since you can't push a moose out of an aircraft, what happens when he says "HEY! Gimme a chute I am diving!"
And as far as moose sex in town, I would hate to be the one to break that up. He might look to me and think "hey sexy".... YIKES!

Funny stuff guys, just watch out for the Jackalopes here in Nevada, they can be mean. I hear that a Jackalope can make even the biggest truck roll due to their antlers and sheer size.

Okay, so would it technically be possible to land yourself a life sentence if...

You were in Fairbanks and had had a little too much to drink, so you decide to spread the wealth by feeding some beer to a nearby moose. This moose happens to be a lightweight, and runs out onto the street to well, you know, with the next female moose it finds. Now afraid that you will get caught, you shove the moose in your airplane and fly off. You are, of course, severely drunk, so you decide to try to do a barrel roll before remembering that you work for UPS so your plane doesn't have any doors. With great dismay, you watch as the moose falls out of the plane and hits a a sleeping bear, much to the surprise of the tourist that was trying to take its picture. Scared to death that you are going to get caught, you land and get out with your mega rifle to shoot the moose and hide the evidence, but the tourist, who is about to be eaten by an angry and tired bear, inches up to you and whispers for help. The moose, bewildered, gets away and suddenly you are both about to be eaten. You whip out your cell phone and call 911, but then the police come and take you away because there will be NO emergencies on their watch!!!

Oh my. I'm not quite sure where that came from. I believe it may be bedtime for Xa'at...

[Marylandkitten]

wowow.. how many rules did you just break!!

The moral of this story is... Don't drink and fly UPS planes!! And if you DO, have the common courtesy to shoot the tourist as you're flying by!!!
(unless the moose lands on him of course)
