The Old Explorer
A young reporter went to a retirement home to interview an aged but
legendary explorer. The reporter asked the old man to tell him the
most frightening experience he had ever had.
The old explorer said, "Once I was hunting Bengal tigers in the
jungles of India. I was on a narrow path and suddenly, the largest
tiger I have ever seen leaped onto the path in front of us. I tried to
get my weapon ready, but there was no time, the tiger leapt toward me
with a mighty Roooaarrrrr!
I soiled myself."
The reporter said, "Under those circumstances anyone would have done
the same."
The old explorer said, "No, not then - just now when I went 'Roooaarrrrr!'"
