Hippo: Nothing for me. I've got a photo shoot tomorrow. Hippo: Me either. I finally fit into my skinny jeans again. Hippo: I have a wrestling meet in 24 hours. Really hungry, hungry hippos
Just revived an ancient memory… in grade school ca. 1968, I read a book with a story about people in a small town “catching” a tune about a hip hippopotamus in their heads, and not being able to get it out. The main character turned up an old book with a song in it about punching passenger tickets, which was able to get rid of the first song- but at a cost. Someone in the world always had to be caught on the second song- it saved the town, but someone out there was always getting rid of it by passing it on.
