Lion


At the circus we see an unusually skillful lion tamer. Classically dressed in striped strong-man tights, completely bald and with a handlebar moustache. He holds a watering can in his hand. Cautiously, oh so cautiously, he pours water in the ears of a lion. A deaf lion is quite harmless. With no danger he can call it names: “Kayak upholstery, rocking chair-ballast, potato testicle!” Most dangerous is if the lion has to sneeze. The trick is to pinch it by the nose until the water fills up its eyes.
