Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 15, 2021

I have hypoglycemia. I’ve come pretty close. Now I eat lots of meat and a lot fewer sweets.

He could have just taken one arm instead of eating the whole animal trainer.

Hey, I used to have hypoglycemia before I lapsed into Type II diabetes. I’m with the tiger!

Watch out for a loose Bengal tiger. I might have low blood sugar.

Worst case? Best case, if you ask me. Big cats shouldn’t be made to perform for people.

Sometimes you just have to follow your … stomach.

I’m involved in a double-blind test of a new treatment for hypoglycemia. The test group will be given a highly-concentrated carbohydrate solution to be ingested orally in tablet form, while the control group will receive only an inert sugar pill.

Hey, wait a second….

Both cats avoid possible heartburn by not being coaxed to jump through that hoop.

Well, yeah ….

….and he was such a good trainer…

While filming movies they use ‘empty horses’ – they are a little hungry and thirsty so no ‘accidents’ are filmed. Trainer may have forgotten you need to approach live acts, with large cats, a bit differently.

Great, now what will the other one eat?

Well, in truth, if the trainer was starving, he’d eat the cat too.

Sounds like dinner time when I was a youngster; or, as we called it, “The Call of the Wild.”

Big cat trainer really was an oxymoron.

Was it Siegfried ot Roy?

Anyone that hits an animal with a whip deserves to be eaten.

Our zoo had the female lioness beat up the much larger male.He cowers before her now. Something happens when any species moves to America, don’t annoy the female or you’ll be on the lunch menu.

Classic case of being hangry

And the trainer was really such a sweet guy.

And thus the importance of a balanced diet…

With that much sudden sugar intake, it’s a wonder the tiger isn’t using the fire ring like a hula hoop.

Where was his lawyer?

Note to self: always feed the tiger.

Boy, I can relate to this cat.

Actually, best case scenario. Animals are not here for our entertainment.

My wife is mildly hypoglycemic. I sometimes kid her that when she’s grouchy, she must be hungry. But it is true, that when someone’s blood sugar is low, their mood alters.

He’s one selfish Tiger!

Ancient Greek myth. A man trained his team of horses to win the chariot races by feeding them meat. Day of the race, he deliberately did not feed them thinking it would make them fierce and run faster. Instead, the team turned on him, killed him and ate him. Talk about instant karma! i’ve always liked that myth because for once you saw justice.

Roy of “Siegfried and Roy” was attacked onstage by tiger who was apparently confused by (prohibited) flash photography during a performance. A wild cat is always a wild cat with speed and strength that can be a deadly surprise. So, very funny: trainer dying in the ring.

I see the tiger ate part of the chair also. At least he got his fiber also.

Snickers.

Well only cartoon animals can eat an adult whole clothes and all.

Sometimes disarmament is difficult.

Hold that Tiger. Hold that Tiger……

I’m more scared of a tiger than a lion.

They’re cats, OK?

I think it would have been funnier if the tiger were explaining to the trainer after taking a couple bites.

It must have been like getting really good ribs—you just cannot stop!

It’s hard to have sympathy for some who willingly enters a cage with two of the top apex predators of the world. Just saying…..

Reading and laughing at a lot of these comments must mean I have a very twisted sense of humour.

You’d think Feed Tiger First would be number one on the list.

PETA approved?

The expression on the lion’s face is adorable!

Bummer…now you don’t have a trainer anymore.

Maybe that’s what happened to Sigfried and Roy?
