A Panda, dressed like a cowboy, with a ten gallon hat and a pair of six-shooters, walks into a Chinese restaurant, and orders a plateful of tender bamboo pieces. The chef goes to the greenhouse, and collects a heaping serving, which the Panda eats greedily. After he finishes the meal, he gets up, pulls out the six-shooter and fires several shots, and runs out the door without paying.
The owner calls the sheriff, who quickly spots the Panda. accosting him, and asks why did he do that at the restaurant... The Panda replied, "That is what the encyclopedia says I am supposed to do.", and pulls out a sheet of paper. The sheriff reads - "Panda dietary needs - bamboo... eats shoots and leaves."
How did the sheriff know that it was that panda?
Didn't know pandas could read or were so literal
