(a P-E subsidiary), Tinton Falls, NJ Keywords: Well, since you asked, here is my very favorite of these terrible (yet wonderful) stories (told in its briefest form): It seems that this scientist found a way to make porpoises live forever! This was accomplished by feeding them a certain type of mynah bird, which was, conveniently enough, available just down the street at his local mynah bird store. Well, anyway, he was walking home from the mynah bird shop with his carton of mynah birds, and taking his normal short cut home through the park. Well, on this one day, it seems that a lion had escaped from the zoo (which was located in the park), and was sleeping right on the path that the scientist wished to traverse. He was absorbed in thought that he careless walked over the lion (without hurting it!). When he reached the other side of the lion, he was arrested! What was the charge? Transporting mynahs over sedate [or staid] lions for immortal porpoises! Boooooooooo -- NAME: Evan L.
