Quote of the Day (P. G. Wodehouse, on an Unfortunate Outcome of Lion Hunting)

“It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn't.”— English humorist P. G. Wodehouse (1881–1975), Ring for Jeeves (1953)

The image accompanying this post, of a lion in Nairobi, Kenya (looking anything but dead), was taken on Aug. 17, 2017, by Antony Trivet.
