Hippopotami... it the the plural of Hippopotamus? Oh it doesn't matter. Did you know they are the second deadliest creatures in all of Africa. The hippo is second only the the bloodsucking (don't get ahead of me and think it is a vampire bat) mosquito. But I will tell you, being chased by a mosquito is not nearly as terrorizing as being chased by a Hippo! I know because I was chased by one...not the mosquito...the Hippo.
Today's episode takes you into those terror filled moments in South Africa where I raced for my life against a hippo named Hippie. I promise he was much nastier than his name implies. I should have told you his name was Maximus! Anyway it is time to get to the story. Are you ready? Take a Xanax and sit down.
