No Longer Hungry Hungry Hippos

(I am working backstage for a production and catch the end of a conversation between the assistant stage manager and backstage hand.)

Backstage Hand: “They don’t just poop. They also wag their tail to send to poop flying.”

Assistant Stage Manager: “That is disgusting.”

Me: “Are you two talking about the dominance display of the hippo?”

Backstage Hand: “More of how they mark their territory.”

Assistant Stage Manager: “I don’t know which is weirder: that hippos actually do that, or that you both knew that fact.”
