A lion in the Milwaukee zoo was lying in the sun licking its ass
when a visitor turned to the zookeeper and said, "That's a docile
old thing isn't it?"

"No way," said the zookeeper, "it's the most ferocious beast in
the zoo. Why just an hour ago it dragged a Democrat politician
into the cage and completely devoured him."

"Hardly seems possible" said the astonished visitor, "but why is
it lying there licking its ass?"

"The poor thing is trying to get the taste out of its mouth."
