1977 was the 1st time I was made aware of the Mann Act.
The government opened an official state zoo some miles inland from the Pacific Ocean.
The first problem that they encountered was that the porpoises in the porpoise pool required a diet of baby sea gulls if they were to live forever. So the director of the zoo sent an attendant down to the ocean to bring back baby sea gulls for the porpoises.
However - while the zoo attendant was down at the beach, the lions escaped from their cages and began to surround the porpoise pool. So that when the attendent returned to the zoo carrying thousands of young gulls he was forced to make the split- second decision - to run and jump high over the lions in order to get the gulls to the porpoise pool.
He did so quite successfully, but he was arrested. Charged with transporting young gulls across state lions for
immortal porpoises.
