Bill Clinton wondered what the definition of "is" is.

Now a Minnesota lawyer wonders what the definiton of "animal" is.

Bryan James Hathaway, 20, of Superior faces a misdemeanor charge of sexual
gratification with an animal. He is accused of having sex with a dead deer he
saw beside Stinson Avenue on Oct. 11.

A motion filed last week by his attorney, public defender Fredric
Anderson, argued that because the deer was dead, it was not considered an animal
and the charge should be dismissed.

“The statute does not prohibit one from having sex with a carcass,”
Anderson wrote.

Yeah. Let's all take a moment to ICK! and move on to what might actually be a legitimate question.

C'mon. Do I have to spell it out for you? All right I will.

What about salami or pepperoni sticks?

'Cause I'm guessing there are quite a few guilty women in Minnesota if that's the case.

[Gee, thanks for bringing this to my attention, Drudge.]

Aside: The sex of the deer was not mentioned in the article.
