I have had a beard since 1972. All animals love me. Well, I haven't tried to get friendly with snakes and wild beasts. I'm not like that idiot who thought the could be friends with the bears. One day, his friends had him for the main course and his stupid girlfriend for dessert.
How about that guy that video taped himself petting the lions? I never did get to see it, but I hear it was hilarious or tragic, depending on what kind of person you are.
