I didn't wanna be outdone.. and we already had squirrels, hawks and dogs.. I figured we needed something huge.

I thought about an elephant.. but liked hippo.. you know.. I prolly should have titled it..

How many pigmies can you fit on the back of a hippo?

In an airplane? Suppose they crashed who would survive the pigmies or the hippo?

I can't speak for Steve Hiker, but I have heard that I sometimes have a lingering aftertaste and odor, so prolly a good idea.

For 45 years at Disneyland on the "Jungle Boat Cruise" the skipper of the boat used to shoot blanks at the hippos. Some to them used to shoot at hippos "in the trees" too. Good fun and great jokes. Then a year ago "politically correctness" took over and they took away the guns. Now they use really stupid jokes, like "Listen to the baby hippos calling for their mothers........(mama...mama)?

BRING BACK THE GUNS AND THE OLD JOKES!

Thanks for starting this thread...I had to get this off my chest.

Phil - You just hit another of my names, "Skipper." In another string I already exposed that I am known as "Uncle" to my Chinese relatives and friends in their realm.

At the local pool hall I am officially recognized as "Skipper." This came about years ago when I was heavier and they wanted me to play "Skipper" at Halloween Time, based on the character in Gillian's Island. I now have a picture of myself standing under a street sign of that name in a "town" (one house) of the same name. It is located in NC along I-95, just north of the SC border.

TownDawg - It's not the same. Mostly I go on the ride hoping the skipper has some new jokes or addlibs. Some of them are really good.
