Zoo Story

So now, weeks after the Christmas Day tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo — after all the hand-wringing how-secure-are-your-zoos media coverage — here’s the Political Punch tip on how to avoid getting mauled by a wild animal at the zoo.

Don’t get drunk, get high, go to the zoo, stand on a railing, and taunt a man-eating savage beast.

Words to live by, I’d say, especially the last part!

“Don’t get drunk, get high, go to the zoo, stand on a railing…” Jake, the first time I read this I had to scratch my head. That’s because my very first impression was you were saying, “DON’T get drunk, GET high, GO to the zoo…” But of course it quickly sank in that the “Don’t” also extended to the other verbs. It’s funny how a very precise intent by a writer (or orator) can sometimes have an opposition outcome depending on the reader’s (or listener’s) perspective.
