you know when your coach has your back...

and this was not one of those times. from this morning's paper. seems a welsh rugby player, on tour in south africa, stuck his hand through a fence into a lion enclosure to pat the lion. no surprises what happened. coach not impressed.

 

Speaking after the Ospreys’ 44-25 loss, unimpressed coach Steve Tandy confirmed Baldwin had been bitten by a lion during a team visit to a game park outside Bloemfontein.

“There was an incident with a lion, but in fairness it was nothing to do with the lion,” Tandy said.

“When you put your hand in a fence where there is a lion, you will get bitten.”

“It was pretty stupid on Scott’s behalf and he is pretty lucky. It had nothing to do with where we were.

“It was a good environment and we were told how far back to stand.

“I don’t know what sort of wildlife show Scott has been watching where you can pat a lion on the head as if it’s a kitten.

“It’s probably one of the silliest things I’ve even been involved in

WTF??? I'm speechless but expect none the less from posted articles by you Ken

I love stories like this. Stupidity should be painful. Just glad it didn’t happen in the US. The lion would be dead and a pride of lawyers would be on the trail for cash.

if you think that is bizarre, it does not come close to the tale of one mad welsh rugby fan. i will endeavour to incorporate it into a forthcoming kenfessions.
