I.Q. test

ORLANDO, Fla. - Rocky, a 700-pound grizzly considered one of the most gentle animals of all Hollywood's performing beasts, bites down on the neck of a veteran trainer.

Illusionist Roy Horn is severely mauled by a show tiger during a Las Vegas performance.

An elephant at an Indonesian tourist resort tramples its longtime handler to death.

And now the latest — a 40-year-old trainer at SeaWorld Orlando is drowned by a massive 12,000-pound killer whale named Tilikum, an incident that raises anew the question of whether some beasts, especially the biggest ones, have any business being tamed to entertain.
Descriptions of Tilikum, the 22-foot orca which has now killed two trainers, inevitably come around to his intimidating size.

Sorry, if you expose your vitals to a PREDATOR, you may become a chew toy. Neither you, nor your next of kin, should be surprised. Orcas are intelligent, not human. Any thing 100 times your weight, with corresponding appetite, has an unfair advantage in unarmed combat.

Education is where you find it,,,or it finds you.

There is nothing quite like having a large, angry man bruising your eyebrows with the edge of his campaign hat, while wearing the hat.

At the same time he is .....commenting..... on your performance, ability, appearance, lineage, progeny, and possible future, in less than complimentary terms. The tone and volume are sufficient to give warning to all, that they should avoid the current state of your affairs. He has
a deep love of God, Family, and Country, and currently sees you as a danger to all he holds dear, because of your poor attitude.

Now, that is an education!

Hopefully my soon to be ex son-in-law is receiving some of that instruction!
