For Columbusonian--Thanks for asking. #10

"I'm curious to see where you would have rather seen the money spent in the zoo." Now we are going to spend some, to save some. We are going to buy a tank of gas and drive out to The Wilds, where hardly any public goes, to get the sign above, because the staff should know better, off the Cheetah fence and take it into the zoo, and hang it on the Okapi fence so folks will quit pestering this notoriously shy and secretive animal. You know how "perceptions" are. I like it, so surly they must like it. It makes me happy, so surly they must be happy. I would rather be on an oasis, swimming and frolicking instead of behind bars. That would make me happy. So the animals must be ecstatic.

Now here is where we have really hit the jackpot by saving revenue. For the small cost of a tank of gas we took care of the security breach and gave the Okapi a break

That gives us the resources needed to hire a crack swat team with K-9 dogs for major events and grand openings. You would be amazed at the rift raft, ne'er-do-wells, hooligans, and troublemakers that have been spotted at such large gatherings.

Looks like a sculptress, working on a larger-than-life Jack Hannah . . .

Bruce,
I goof around(come on, you take the name "Jungle" you've got to expect a rib) about Jack Hannah, but I actually do respect him and admire(also enjoyed meeting him a number of years ago) what he has done for the institution called the Columbus Zoo, that is near and dear to his heart. Jungle Jacko did it by himself without an assistant, without an animal, without magic, without being cute and charming, or without getting killed. Marlin Perkins made St. Louis famous by watching from the safety of a tree stand, while Jim Fowler was getting downed and browned in the mud by an Anaconda. Ed Maruska made Cincinnati famous with a white tiger and the help of smoke and mirrors from Las Vegas. Joan Embry made San Diego famous by being the doll every one wanted to bone, and Steve Irvin made the Australian Zoo famous by getting killed. Jack Hanna(after quickly realizing the 3 legged white tiger wasn't going to work like him like his(the white tigers)father did for Maruska), made Columbus famous by acting like Lou Jacobs!!!! You Bruce, have to really appreciate that. The reality is, a "Tv Daktari zoo/animal "expert" is nothing more valid then "show biz", Ivan Tors style.
