Trivia

Q. Did you say giraffes don’t kick?

A. On the contrary, they kick attacking lions in a most deadly manner. They just don’t kick one another. When a giraffe fights a giraffe, the two stand side by side and swing their necks. Each tries to hit the other between the shoulder and the ear.

People who don’t know far outnumber people who do know that the solid wooden fence around an ice hockey rink is known as the sideboard.

Another distinction enjoyed by Hong Kong, at least now, is the informal title of “Brandy Capital of the World.”
