“A vulture with two dead raccoons tries to board. ‘Sorry, only one carrion is allowed’”

Flight attendants often ask about “carry-on” luggage, and there’s a pun:
 
“A vulture boards an airplane carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at it and says, ‘I’m sorry, only one carrion allowed per passenger.’”
 
The joke has been cited in print since at least 2000.
