"It's a cat." "No it isn't, it's a lion." "Nah, it's a cat. Look at it lying there, it's a cat." "Uh, uh. Something that big has gotta be a lion." "Of course it ain't dimwit. Lions roar, have big teeth, yawn a lot. I've seen 'em on Discovery ain't I?" "You mean that ain't a lion?" "Nah, it's just a big wussy cat. Harmless, couldn't bite you if it tried." "So, if I go pet it..." "Nothing would happen to you, nothing. 'Cept maybe a scratch or two." "Well, I like cats..." "Go say hello to it, maybe they'll let you take it home. Rescue cat, you know." "Well, Hell, I can give it a home." "Yeah, you should, give the poor kitty some good looking after." "I'm going, ain't gonna let them treat a poor pussy like that." "You go, you show them how a kitty should be treated." "I'm going." "Wowser, you show them, Bubba." "Here, Kitty." "Cute kitty, isn't it. You'll be a good owner." "Here Kitty, h--." . . . "You know, that there's one mighty fine lion." http://ficlets.com/feed/story/948
