It seems that one of the recreation parks, up Tampa way, has recently put in a tank with two male porpoises in it, these to supplement the other wildlife roaming free over the park's vast acreage.
As circumstances will have it, it turns out the porpoises have developed, of all things, an obscene letch for tender, young seagulls. In order to satisfy their yearnings - and incidentially to keep them happy so the'll perform their nonsexual stunts for the thousands of paying visitors who come to the park each day - the owner has taken taken to secreting numbile seagulls into the tank each night, the better for the porpoises to indulge their appetites for youthful birds.
Well, on a moonless night, several weeks back, the owner was sneaking onto the grounds a young and especially beautiful plump female seagull, carrying her in his hands up the path that led to the tank where the panting porpoises awaited their connumbial sacrifice.
(One is not supposed to ask, I gather, how a pair of porpoises could ever possibly mate with a seagull.)
As he moved stealthily forward, the owner of the park was startled by the sight of a lion sleeping across the only path that led directly to the tank.
What to do?
Hoping that he would not awaken the lion, the owner stepped across the lion's prone body, still carrying the young seagull in his arms, whence he was accosted by a policeman, who had come out of the bushes, brandishing a revolver, subsequently placing the owner under arrest.
The "Charge" as it was read into open Court the following morning:
"Carrying an Underage Gull Across a Sedate Lion for Immoral Porpoises".
Have a wonderful day!
Note: I so immeasurably enjoued this tale, I felt an unbridled urge in my simply having to share this with you all. I cannot take credit for this one, however, my having discovered it earlier this day, when reading some light Summer-time fare.
