A thread for people with a sense of humor

(CNN)A South Florida police chase ended with a kangaroo in the back of a patrol car. Of course, it was the kangaroo they were chasing in the first place.
Fort Lauderdale police found a lone kangaroo jumping around the city's downtown area on Thursday morning. Officers fit a leash over its head and lifted the Australian expat into the back of a police cruiser, footage from CNN affiliate WSVN showed.
The kangaroo was taken to the department's stables, police said, and they later tweeted a video of the animal mulling about a wooden stall with grass to eat and a ball to play with.

The @myfwc will be taking care of the kangaroo rescued from wandering the streets of the city this morning. Fort Lauderdale code does not allow exotic animals like this within the city limits. @ftlcitynews @wsvn @cbsmiami @wplglocal10 @nbc6 @ac360 @abc pic.twitter.com/n06Cg58xr6

CNN reached out to the police department to ask about the animal's owner and how it had escaped and is waiting to hear back. In the meantime, the department is sharing live updates about the kangaroo on its Twitter profile.

The hopping marsupial will be kept with police until it can be transferred to a licensed facility, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) spokesperson told CNN. The FWC will investigate the incident.
Fort Lauderdale doesn't allow residents to keep exotic animals like kangaroos within city limits. But under Florida's exotic animal ownership laws, kangaroos may be classified as a Class III exotic animal, a species of nonnative wildlife that the FWC requires owners to obtain a permit to keep them.

This is the apolitical comedy thread. This is the sort of thing you should be posting in the Political Comedy thread, not your "LOL ORANGEMANBAD" copypasta 'news' blurbs.

These threads have no moderators. I try to point things out (some of the reasons why people have abandoned these boards) but some assholes simply refuse to listen.

Far as I can tell this board has never experienced much spammers.

Yep. I thought it was just funny as hell. I wasn't even thinking it was political.

I wasn't alive for the seatbelt pushback, but there was one. I do remember helmet laws pushback, I was a member of Lightning Alley ABATE* and fondly recall many a meeting listening fat greybeard bikers cry and whine about that law, which was eventually amended to their satisfaction (in Florida anyway, don't know about the rest of the Union).

Seriously? Come on Mustrum, you aren't so stupid as believe if the government mandated condom usage during sex that there wouldn't be a massive hew and cry over it. There damn sure would stiff pushback, the protestors would be down right throbbing with anger...

Seriously, I can keep this up all day long.
