Animal Trainer

The ancient Roman animal trainer released the lions into the Colosseum, and turned to his assistant with a
sigh.

"They’re a poor lot, this week," he said glumly, "even worse than the ones last year."

"I know," replied his assistant, "the Christians aren’t up to much either, are they?"

"No," said the trainer. "Bloody awful shower."

"Still, look on the bright side," said his assistant, "atleast we don’t get pitch invasions like they do at the
chariot races."
