If i were extremely wealthy and had the misfortune of going
blind I would want my own Seeing Eye Lion
The benefits would be many
with a seeing eye lion you could short cut lines at the grocery
store.
People would be less likely to waste your time attempting to
pet your cute lion.
and
deer would leave you alone.
I prefer mine a wee bit weer.

The success, or otherwise, of this would depend
quite heavily on the ability of lions to learn about
traffic. |
|
| |
It would be really lousy to spend your life with a
huge carnivore, yet be killed by a Skoda. |

International relations attachés and politicians are rich. |
|
| |
Various movements (eg: Occupy All The Things) believe that politicians in general are blind, accusing them of having their heads up their shorts. |
|
| |
Being rich, and blind, international attachés will need [vfrackis]' Seeing Eye Lion. |

A lion in the negotiation room certainly encourages laser focus around understanding the handler's point of view. |
|
| |
Thus, the Seeing Eye-To-Eye Lion. |
|
| |
Also valuable in ironing out domestic disputes and union contract negotiations. |
|
| |
Finally, my keychain laser pointer might come in handy now. |

At which point, possession of the elephant in the room becomes a notable advantage. |
|
| |
Mixed feelings here - I was only mildly annoyed when pretty girls asked me to stop so they could pet my horse. |
|
| |
First catch your lion..... |
|
| |
I'm guessing you would tend to go and do wherever
and
whatever the
lion wanted. The extent of lion training I"ve seen is
sitting up on their hind legs so they don't get poked
with a stick again. And might want to wear roller
skates in case the lion sees something it wants to
chase, kill and eat. (cue Yakkity Sax soundtrack) [+] |

Reviewing the options, we now consider that a seeing-eye bear would be the best choice. |
|
| |
Bears are highly intelligent omnivores, learn quickly, and are amenable to something resembling domestication. |
|
| |
Most importantly, they are not cats. |
|
| |
There would be many advantages. Bears can sit in human chairs; they will enthusiastically enter standard passenger vehcles - evidence shows that in National Parks in the USA, it is quite a challenge to stop them. When well fed, they are not particularly agressive. And a person accompanied by a seeing-eye bear is unlikely to be a victim of street crime. |
|
| |
Bears; the big (very big)* new thing in assistance animals. Get yours today ! |
|
| |
*Some bears like the Sun bear and the Spectacled bear are actually quite small, and cute (but still have fearsome teeth and claws). |
|
| |
And if the bear is Russian, it can ride a bike and for
the show's finale, eat the trainer. |
|
| |
The Russian Seeing Eye-To-Eye Bear SHOULD be employed in certain high-level international negotiations. |
|
| |
Perhaps s/he could arm wrestle Putin. |
|
| |
Settling international disputes by bear wrestling would get a lot more airtime than UN debates. |

[Ian], it's something to do with active present participles used as adjectives, i.e., the 'seeing' in 'seeing eye'.
Remarkable feature of the English language, this. |
|
| |
Lions apparently go out of their way to kill any animal that looks like competition. Handy if civil war breaks out amidst the blind subculture. |
|
| |
Because they're used by blind humans, who may have eyes
that don't see? |
|
| |
+ yes of course.(You wouldn't be lion to me?) |
|
| |
//Why are people prefixing the word “eye” with “seeing”// |
|
| |
Are the tracker/contraband seeking dogs "smelling nose"
dogs? I quite like "smelling nose". I'm going to engineer a
conversation with some Americans, use the term "smelling
nose" and then wait for the inevitable questions. They will
then fall on the sword of their own logic and start calling
"seeing eye" dogs "guide dogs", like they should. |
