I’m a tiger. 5/26/2006
I was performing an inspection early this morning, with a vendor. This vendor happens to be an engineer, an is married with 2 kids. She’s young and keen, and this is her first time being engineer in charge of a project, so she’s very eager to please.
We were walking down the main corridor, heading towards one of the departments, and we were engaging in idle chit-chat. Most everyone in this project knows about me and the bikes. A bit hard to miss, when you see a row of scooters and step throughs parked in the parking lot, and then you suddenly see this black machine with panniers and a top box breaking up the symmetry.
She was asking me about bikes, and biking, and happened to ask about where we go on the bikes.
“So, where do you guys usually go?”
“It depends. Sometimes it’s a day trip for lunch somewhere, or a quick blast through the canyons and up the hills. Other times, especially on long weekends, we run to the border.”
“Do you go to the border often?”
“Most usually. Things are cheap there, and you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a good time.”
She thought about this statement for a minute, and then asked,
“So what do you guys do at the border?”
“The usual things bikers do. Drink beer, head out to the local swimming hole, hit the shooting range, take in a tiger show or two.”
“A tiger show?”
“Yeah, a tiger show.”
She went a little quiet at this, and I thought I had offended her by mentioning the fact that I occassionally go to a strip club. Her next question had me tripping over my feet, and almost stabbing myself in the eye with the aerial of my walkie-talkie…
“So what does the tiger do in the show?”

It writes, blows smoke, shoots darts, opens softdrink bottles and perform other magical stuffs.
u have tigers that strip there? do they just take off their stripes? or do they go all the way?
Doc - if it can cook, clean, and do the windows, I’m all set.
Oyster - fur coats are too hot to wear here, so the tigers get them off as quickly as possible.
Did your vendor want to see a tiger show? *miao*
I’d hate to catch a show with performing elephants!
it’s actually called “thai-girl show”. I was there 2 weeks ago.
Mike - I know what it’s called. She misheard me.
Michael Ooi,
What’s a father to be doing at tiger shows? Lets forward your comment to the wife?
Haha, Doc you forgot ping pong balls and razor blades.
she’s young and keen… time to educate this engineer, muahahahar! *evil grin*
I was there for a friend’s bachelors night. That night was MORE than just “tiger show”. I’ll leave you guys to imagine. (and yes, I got visa from my wife for that weekend, and no, I did not lose my virgin)
Great one here! Actually the places we frequent, a spit across the border, has more eye-candies and lap dancing east of suez.
Tiger indeed!
I was going to say - I would also ask what tricks does the tiger do?
At least you’re not going to “wash your hair” or “get a suit made”
IB : I don’t have hair to wash. At least, not on the top of my head.
