The Zoo: Part 2

The giraffe was a big hit with the kids. So we stood around and stared at the spotted thing eating his food for about... oh... six hours.

I might have exaggerated on that a bit.

So while we loitered and looked, I took the opportunity to eavesdrop on the 467 conversations going on around me.

Oh? You don't think there were that many?

(Hello! "Cheap Day!")

Eventually I heard a gal say, "You know where the best hippo exhibit is?"

And you know what she said?

"TOLEDO, OHIO."

I said straightaway to her, "Nu-uh, girlfriend! You from Ohio?"

And she was, and so we talked, and wasn't that a nice little story.

But I dunno. I kinda liked this view of the hippos:

They were being sad. They had just heard all about the lucky hippos at the hippoquarium in Toledo, Ohio.

(I personally think the Fort Wayne, Indiana zoo is tops, but what is your vote?)
