The Lion Tamer Joke (the better version) John is walking down the street when he bumps into Teddy, an old friend he hasn't seen in a while. Then exchange pleasantries and then Teddy says he recently got a job as a lion tamer at the circus. John is surprised and blurts out, "How are you gonna be a Lion Tamer? As I recall you used to be an accountant." Teddy says the Circus people told him that the Lions know the drill and the Tamer is essentially in there as a prop. "Well, what if the lions start to get aggressive?", asks John. "They said to use the chair, you use the chair to push them back." John interrupts, "What if they're still aggressive? "They gave the whip, and if I crack the whip that should scare the Lions and make them move off." John then asks, "but what if the whip doesn't work? what will you do then?" "Well then, they said to reach into my pants pull out some s*** and rub it in their eyes." "How can you be sure there's going to be s*** in your pants" Teddy sighs, "They said I'm gonna have to trust them on that one"
