Caasha: They[lions] are so beautiful.
Karri: They sure are. Did you have those in Somalia?
Caasha: Yeah, herds of them. We had trouble sleeping at night with all the roaring. They kept stalking us, waiting for us to go relieve ourselves in the bushes. We had to drum like crazy to scare them off. See they’ve got an excellent ear for rhythm. They only like it if you drum at an easy beat. And if you don’t scare them enough, they might snatch someone.
Karri: Reminds me off a one time as a kid in kindergarten yard. There was this guy, Markku, he was a real jerk. So one day this polar bear shoots in through the gate and bites his head off.
