IJMC - Safari Tales

I'm dead. Or ought to be. I just finished putting together a bibliography 
on Joseph Stalin. I don't know whether to be amazed or dismayed over the

Internet. Oh well. I shall sleep now. And if I die before I wake, I pray 
the lord my bibliography to take.                                   -dave

started running, with the lion not far behind.

When the lion was almost at my neck, he suddenly slipped, and I got
ahead a bit.

The lion started gaining on me, and as he got closer, once again

slipped for a third time.

With the very last bit of strength, I ran into the house and closed
the door in the lion's face."

"That's some story there, John.  Hell, I would have shit my pants in
such danger"

"Mark, Mark, What do you think the lion kept slipping on..."
