Suppose a lion converts to Judaism.
If the lionesses kill an animal without using the appropriate kosher methodology, then would the lion refuse to eat it?

1. I'm sure a lioness could convince any rabbi that something is kosher instead of not

A cape buffalo can run down and trample a lion to death.

9. I know they're bad news when annoyed,

10. I've seen on YouTube...
...a cape buffalo drinking some water. Two lions attack it. It starts pounding both of them when a crocodile comes out of the water and starts trying to drag it in. The buffalo finishes smacking the lions, turns around, and beats the crocodile back to the cenozoic era. Then it calmly walks back into the herd.

14. Well, if Caligula could make a horse Consul...
...I'm sure we could find a way to get a gnu on the national ticket. I don't think the Constitution states a candidate for President must be human, just American-born and over 35. Can we find an American-born gnu that is at least 35 in gnu-years?

21. Show me a lion that refuses to consume blood and I'll show you a lion that converted to Judaism...
or maybe I'll just show you a lion that's a Jehovah's Witness.

19. Suppose an iron statue of a lion converts to rastafarianism and then
moves to Ethiopia and spends its life preaching that Haile Selassie I is god incarnate?

Who might then be inspired to write a song or two?

23. My family is Jewish
and they all eat bacon and other non-kosher things.

I'm the godless/pagan one, and I don't - I'm a pescetarian (I eat shellfish, though).

Irony is wonderful.
