The "hippo story".

The series of events leading up to this particular situation are probably so fantastically entertaining that it would ruin my whole life to hear the story. I would never think that anything was funny or cute or nice again, because the "hippo story" would top them all. You know what? It's better if I just picture a boring scenario, where the hippo and the man, both ultra-lonely, met on Craigslist for a cup of coffee, and one thing lead to another, and, well... Hippo in the bed.
Yawn.
