…Imagine what this means : “I have to meet a deadline!”
What kind of line did you have to meet :
- A train line would be awfully dangerous and life-threatening – you would be dead-on-the-line before you realize!
- A telephone line should be quite interesting. Try and get hold of someone only to discover that some gremlin cast a spell somewhere : ho-hom … you met a deadline!
- Imagine … This wonderful and exciting safari which you have been looking forward to for ages, has finally arrived. Accommodation is 5-star standard; the huts are made of reed and there is even mosquito netting over the beds. A pitcher full of of fresh , tropical fruit juice which is tinkling with ice cubes, forming water droplets and drizzles on the outside of the ice cold glass. You savour each mouthful and appreciate its coolness as the juice trickles down your throat. You hear the sounds of the wild very near to your enclosure, and experience the thrill and excitement and anticipation. You are actually very grateful that there is a surrounding fence for the safety of the safari members. Later on your first evening, the great big bonfire and subsequent braai is enjoyed by all, and this is where the hunting stories are exchanged … trophy hunters each relate their own special tales of the great KILL! You very gingerly look over your shoulder on hearing the giggle of a hyena and the grumble of a lion. Why are sounds so magnified when it’s dark? This gathering is the prelude to the hunt of the following day.
Early next morning the group is ready for the great hunting experience! Each has a vision of the great trophy which he is to shoot! The guide follows the spoor intently, and is very careful where he treads. He is aware of the wind direction and we have all been instructed that we should be downwind at all times. Suddenly, the guide stops abruptly … the followers stagger against him like falling dominoes … he points his trembling finger towards … a DEAD LION!
YOU MET A DEAD LION!
…… sorry …….
