A: That's because I don't go in the lion pit? Where there are lions?
B: Well, I'VE never even seen one there. I just sometimes suddenly lose consciousness and wake up mysteriously mauled. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's just allergies.

A: Because it's the lion pit? That you're going into?
B: Everyone knows lions aren't a real threat here. Don't they only hurt vulnerable people in, like, Africa or something? I haven't heard anything on the news about lion attacks in ages. You've never been attacked, have you?

B: it seems like every few weeks, instead of making it to work, I wake up in the hospital, covered in bites and claw marks!
A: Uh, do you think it might be because of...the lions in there?
B: What? No! Why would it be lions?

B: There's this big pit in the middle of the route, with a pictures of a lion next to it, but if you jump down and go straight across, you can save 15 minutes over going all the way around! Anyway, it's a great time saver, but...

Absolutely.

I once needed to come up with something for K, and ALL I could think of was “knife” and “knight” and “know.” Maddening!
