>The Infamous Eagles Joke.

Good one Mr mikl law.
I must admit it took me quite a while to figure it out, and the answer was a little coarse when I finally got it, but I did enjoy the riddle aspect of it; unlike Derek my M10 love, who has given up in frustration already and says he likes Mr heros jokes better.
You have however prompted him being as he is an old eagle lover from way back, to ask me to (incite some X -No, no, cross that out) post the following joke on his behalf.

Two climbers one trad and the other sport, died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
St. Peter said, “I’d like to get you guys in now, but our computer’s down. You’ll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can’t go back as humans. What’ll it be?”
The trad climber says, “I’ve always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above Arapiles.”
“So be it,” says St. Peter, and off flies the first climber.
The sport climber mulls this over for a moment and asks, “Will any of this week ‘count’, St. Peter?” “No, I told you the computer’s down. There’s no way we can keep track of what you’re doing. The week’s a freebie.”
“In that case,” says the sport climber, “I’ve always wanted to be a stud.”
“So be it,” says St. Peter, and the second climber disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two climbers. “Will you have any trouble locating them?” He asks.
“The first one should be easy,” says St. Peter. “He’s somewhere over Arapiles, flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult.”
“Why?” asketh the Lord.
St. Peter answered, “He’s on a dog collar, somewhere in NSW, though if I am lucky he could be at a crag which would cut the search list down somewhat.”
