Hippo Sweat Sunscreen
Would you slather yourself in hippo sweat to avoid sunburn? Even if you replied yes, perhaps you'd prefer that the unguent came in a tube, rather than straight off the back of a hippo.

So? You sneak up on the hippo, then rub yourself all over it before running away. Come on, Wenthral, show some creativity!

Aren't most men? I know I am. But like most bodybuilders I only secrete baby oil and bronzer.

One word: Coppertone!

Ya know, I just have to say that if an elephant charged at me for any reason - like, because I was trying to setup a hippo decoy - I wouldn't be sticking around. Probably explains why I work behind a desk instead of for the Nat Geo channel...sigh... :long:

So it's this guy's actual job to hide in a hippo decoy for hours on end and wait to be mauled..eaten..trampled..and this is his chosen profession? He must get paid big bucks. Those hippos don't look all that friendly!

When I was in grade school and we had career day, we certainly didn't have anyone come in to talk about being a "Hippo Decoy." We just mostly got doctors, accountants and sales guys. Oh, and one dentist.

Thank you, Patty, for saving me from an extreemly embarrising situation where I'd have had to point out the obvious about one of our own.
