Whose turn to do the walkaround on THIS plane?

[De Selby]

I wonder which is actually more risky:

Walking past the lions, or flying out of a rural airstrip on an African airline.

What's really amazing about that picture is that there are so many females peacefully co-existing with one another.

And you don't need to kill everything that moves just because it's there.  Simple solution, if you don't want lions lounging in the shadow of your plane, throw up a tarp a distance away when it's parked, and put a strong-smelling solvent in a jar under the wings of the plane. They'll go under the tarp instead.

Who's going to place the solvent under the plane at this point?

Though the tarp idea isn't bad at all.

I'd meant when you park and shut down the plane.

A universal constant on the savanna is that any sort of animal or groups of animals crossing it will lounge in any shade they can find during the day. And if that's your plane's wings, you're likely to have a group of something or the other flopped under it. They'll go towards any object standing out from the landscape, looking for shade, whether that's one of the few and far between trees, or your aircraft.

They probably just send some old lady with a broom out there to chase them away 

[Phyphor]

Please don't shoot the lounging lions. 
Just run faster than Fistful in his tactical meat outfit. 

That's why we have guns.  If Fistful turns out to be faster than you, simply kneecap him.  Problem solved.

Trebuchet, anyone?

[MicroBalrog]

What would Ripley Do?

[280plus]

He'd either believe it, or not...

I was thinking Ellen Ripley.

[Matthew Carberry]

Dis plane has a shader.

Not me... 

[Northwoods]

That is the most patient and orderly looking group of lions waiting for a meal as I have ever seen.

They must be British lions to que up so orderly for a meal.

That being the case, they would politely point out the word is spelled "queue" and suggest your American butt should just say "line' and quit trying so hard. =p

Please pre-emptively forgive me for the preceding joke/critique, note the time, and consider how many gin and tonics I have probably had tonight.  That is a damn good follow up to LAK's comment on a lot of levels.

One of the best lines in the latest "Hitchhiker's Guide" movie. "Ok. Leave this to me. I'm British. I know how to queue."

My humblest appologies.  I can really tell it's been a baker's dozen years since I lived in that wonderful (now sovereign of course) British Colony of New Zealand.
