AT THE LION FARM

It seems there was a time when there was a lion farm in California. The rider was the owner. Apparently, for awhile he had both arms and legs.

I don't believe I ever heard or saw anyone in real life ride a lion. I think the little kid that hung with one of the Tarzan's rode one in the movie or tv show, but this was a first for me.

There are more dangerous things to do, I suppose, but most of them make more sense than to hop on the back of the king of beasts. I can just hear it now.

"Your Father, son, was killed by a lion."

"A lion?"

"A lion. You see, we owned a lion farm and he was riding it, you know, like a horse, and that stupid lion just threw him off, shook him like a rag doll and ate him up."

Sometimes truth is stranger and stupider than fiction.
