************

The 18th day there was 41 elephants on the grasslands of Africa, the 22nd day 202 rhinos joined them. In the beginning there was 176 ostriches, the 20th day 11 of them died. The 3rd that died had 211 and the 8th had 201 ticks. When the 7th ostrich died 176 hyenas started to laugh. The 6th rhino in line lost his temper and bulldozed 160 of the hyenas. After bulldozing 69 hyenas the heart rate of the rhino was 206. The bulldozing sure stopped the laughing of the hyenas. On day 21 only 7 hyenas was left of the herd. They had to wait for 26 more days for a herd of 211 hyenas to join them.

Some days after the massacer, a herd of lions took over the grasslands. 4 of the lions stood 211m away from the hyenas, this was enough for them. In 17 seconds they where 101m away, running for their lives. The second lion had roared at a volume of 211dB!

30km to the south 241 crocodiles lied in the river. They had waited for 14 days, finally the herd of 377 gnuus arrived. Dinner time! The gnuus hesitated for 24 minutes, then 241 of them jumped in to the river. You might think that this was a fair fight, but crocodiles don't care about fairness. After 56 seconds 101 gnuus had been pulled under the water. This was accomplished by 74 crocodiles, which all had 211 teeth in their mouth. Boy, was that brutal! In 33 seconds 206 liters of blood was spilled. 58 minutes later, 21 gnuus was in safety on the other side of the river. Now they had to wander for 61 hours and 202km. There they would be spotted by 15 tourist groups and captured on 200 photos.

The 10th tourist group was 201m from the herd of gnuus. There was 13 members in the group, the guide had told them 202 times not to go too near the wild animals. In just 23 second e.g. a panter could kill a 301lbs man. That's no pussycat! Still he had to remind them 66 times, this made him hope that the last 241 minutes of the trip would go fast. Tourists...!

50 years ago, when there was still 211 species near the tourist centre, it was only the rich people that could afford a trip to the grasslands of Africa. 36 years ago there was still a herd or monkeys (population 201) with no ears, but 19 years ago the last 21 of the herd died, the species was extinct.

Now a days you can feel lucky if you can see 46 species, seldom more than 202 animals at a time. Once a man, 5 years ago, saw a herd of 211 baboons, but 9 weeks later the population had decreased to 201. The man called at once the number 53 377 48 241, but boy, did he pick the wrong number?!? An angry woman answered and yelled at him that this was the 16th time he called her, now she was going to send her 201cm tall nephew to beat the crap out of him!!! The man got so scared, that he was unconscious for 55 seconds. When he came to he had to undress his Levi's 201 and run to the toilet... Poor man!

The nephew, age 57, bought a cheap air line ticket (for $41) to the grasslands of Africa. But boy, did he regret that! When the flight was nearly over, just 28km from the coast of African, the plane broke into 202 pieces! The nephew fell into the sea and he had to swim with 72 other passengers for 211 hours before the coast guard found them. Only 27 passengers were rescued, the rest of the passengers drowned 206 hours earlier! Now, the coast guard was surprised to learn, that flight AKH34-176 was a Fokker 70 loaded with 176 passengers! No wonder the ticket was cheap!!! Anyway, 63 minutes later the ship was only 200m from the coast. Well, enough of the nephew. He never found the man that called his aunt anyway, so there is not much more to tell about him.

The 41 elephants had now wandered 301km. They were tired and thirsty. They had still 54km to go before they would reach the 200m wide river. They could not believe their eyes when they saw that the leader of the herd had brought them to a 59m high and 11km wide mountain! They all started to stomp with their feet, 64 seconds of stomping that could be heard 202km further up the river! Fortunately, the stomping was also heard by a herd of 67 hippos and 221 rhinos! They came to rescue and once again, bulldozing like never before, they managed to open a pass that was 65m wide and 301m long. At last the elephants were able to take a swim!

While the elephants were swimming, a group of 11 poachers roamed around just 201m away from the river. They had already killed 68 animals during the last 211 hours. One week earlier the police almost caught the poachers, but instead of setting up a stakeout 52km from the river, the stakeout was 202km from the river! There's some brainy thinking for you! So, the poachers had no worries, they rounded up some 40km away with 202 rifles! Just to make sure they didn't have to go back to town for more ammo, they had bought a box containing 75 times 260 rounds of ammo, so they were ready for war. Before driving out to the grasslands they went to the grocery in case they would get thisty, just to buy a few beer, 25 bottles each in 221 cases! Ok, so they would surely not die of thirst, more likely from alcohol poisoning...

Now they were sneaking up on the elephant herd, locked and loaded. Well, I guess when you're a poacher you have a bad karma, so this is what happened next: the hippos and rhinos (now down to 51 and 206) that earlier helped the elephants noticed that there was something funny going on in the bushes. So they snuck (can you imagine hippos and rhinos sneaking?!?) up on the poachers from behind, they were just 71m away from them, waited for 211 seconds and then they attacked. The poachers got so scared, that they threw their guns 12m up in the air, took a bearing at 176 degrees and ran screeming away. What about the beer, you might think? Well, what do you think a bunch of hippos, rhinos and elephants do on a sunny beach and a shit load of beer?!?? This much I can tell you; they didn't enjoy the next morning!

The police was still convinced their stakeout was at the right place; 32 vehicles and 211 police officers. Hmmm, a little over-kill, don't you think... Well, they were so sure about them selves that they had invited a group of 43 persons from the Ministry for internal affairs to observe the bust. To be safe, the group was in a bus just 221m away from the stakeout. The bus was a vintage, so there was no air conditioning available. When the temperature inside the bus rose to 60 degrees, 7 of the members had fainted. The chief of the police assured, that "It won't be long now..." When they had waited for 73 minutes, the Secretary for internal affairs lost his temper and shouted "You incompetent prick!!! You and your 211 polices won't have to come to work tomorrow!! You're all fired!!! You've got 29 minutes to get us out of here, at least 301km away from this hell hole!!!"

62 days later, the former chief of police had looked up 377 job advertisement, but he was still unemployed. You think a man with that experience would at least get a job as a security guard, but no chance. There was 31 security companies in the area with 221 eployees, they had all decided that they wouldn't hire the guy. So he had to change the line of business and become a florist. During the course that lasted 35 days he had learned about 201 different flowers, to make 49 different flower settings and also gained 221 customers! So he was a success in the flower business. He regretted that he hadn't started doing flower settings ages ago. If he had started at the age of 37, he would for sure have had 201 times more customers today. Instead, at the age of 38, he had joined the police academy after being 201 weeks in prison for tax evasion. After being 44 weeks in prison, he made a promise to his mother: "I will be a police in 211 weeks after getting out of prison" The mother was so proud of him.

So, as you can see there's a lot going on on the grasslands of Africa. If you visit it some times, you might just see a former chief of police doing 42 flower settings with 241 different types of flowers. If you're really lucky you might see 47 elephants, 301 rhinos, 45 hippos and 206 gnuus drinking beer on the riverbank. So buy a ticket on flight AGL39-176 (make sure it's not a Fokker!) and get ready for an adventure!
