A few years ago, there was a really eccentric oil tycoon who had taken
it into his head to collect really strange and exotic pets. One day,
deciding to add to his collection, he walked into the store of an exotic
pet shop and said to the salesman, "Show me the most unusual pet you
have in stock!" The salesman took him to an outside tank, in which a pod
of dolphins were frolicking happily. "These may LOOK like ordinary
dolphins," he told the man, "but these were given to us to sell by a
genetics research group studying ways to genetically reduce aging in
humans. It seems the experiment was a success on these little guys. They
can't survive out in the wild anymore, they're too tame, but as long as
they don't catch any severe debilitating diseases, they will live more
or less forever." The man is impressed, and being the wealthy man that
he is, drops the cash to buy the dolphins and have a suitable home for
them installed in his backyard. The man became quite attached to his
pets and took very good care of them, and they frolicked about in their
tank happily for nearly fifteen years, much longer than any of his other
pets had ever survived. The man spared no expense for their care, and
seriously considered leaving his multi-million dollar estate to them in
his will. But one day they began to seem a little droopy and not very
energetic. Alarmed, the man rang for the vet, who told him that alas,
his precious dolphins had contracted a rare icthyoid disease, and the
only antibiotic for them had to be derived from the feathers of the blue
Savannah Parrot that lived on the jungle fringes of Africa. The man
didn't think twice. He called up his travel agent and booked the next
day's flight to Africa, and rented a jeep and a guide and pack boy to
help him bag some of these parrots. They drove up to the edge of the
jungle, stopped the jeep and trudged into the trees on an old native
hunting trail, nets in hand. After about six hours of this, they had
bagged two of the parrots, and the man decided that would be enough
feather to make enough antibiotic for his pets. So he trudges back out
toward the jeep - and freezes. A huge, stately lion had decided to take
a nap right in the middle of the path between him and the jeep. He looks
over his shoulder and realizes that his companions have fled leaving him
literally holding the bag, and the growth is too thick on either side of
the trail to make it past without waking the lion. So he backs up about
fifty feet, gets a running start, and leaps over the beast and makes a
dash for the jeep and drives off for the airport. Just as he is nearing
sight of the airport, he hears a siren and sees some flashing lights. He
dutifully pulls over, and a policeman steps up to him and says, "I'm
sorry, sir, but you're under arrest - " The man interrupts him, "Oh,
please, officer, I'll pay any fine at all! I need to get these parrots
back so I can make a vaccine for my dolphins so they don't die!" Well,
sir, the policeman replies, "I'm afraid that's the root of the problem.
I have to arrest you for taking mynahs over the stately lion for
immortal porpoises."

Ooooooooooooooooooh, you got me again. I should know better... :)
