Ish,

When I was in 7th grade my parents took me to England in a vain attempt to get me culture. We stayed at a number of farms which offered rooms. Once I decided to take a shortcut across a field - hopped a gate and came up against the biggest damned sow I have ever seen in my life. I grew up around animals, and if ever I've faced an animal that intended mayhem, that pig was the one. I was terrified. I don't even remember how I got back across that gate, but it was fast.

What kind of gun would you use on an angry bull at close range? 12 ga. with slugs comes to mind, or something else with equal authority. Some matador skills wouldn't hurt either. Speaking of matadors, I've always had fantasies of sneaking into a Spanish bullring and substituting a pissed-off grizzly bear for the bull. Wonder what the matador would do...

A few years back I was driving on the island of Mindoro at night, with a load of hitchhikers in the back of the pickup, when I ran over what initially I thought was a small tree. Turned out to be a python almost as long as the pickup. The boys in the back chopped it up and cooked it. Good stuff. Tastes like chicken. A lot less damage to the truck than a bull/cow/deer might have caused. Less meat, though.
