Tom... you know how pitch black it gets in Africa after the sun sets and you're sitting in a leopard blind. While waiting out the arrival of a cat, you also know what it's like to identify most all the animals coming to the water hole, just by the sounds they make, either with their mouths or their hooves. One evening, a giraffe came in and I had no idea it was out there. Shortly thereafter, he leaned over and put his snout into the front opening of our blind, directly in front of me. While pissing myself in utter terror, I grabbed my rifle such that I could have either blown my damn foot off at the ankles or paid a unwanted trophy fee for a giraffe I killed with a shot to his face.

So, you fckers PMing each other behind my back as to your practical joke plans best remember the giraffe story.
