White Tigers and Work

What's in Jen's Crockpot, you ask?

Venetian canal boats, the Eiffel Tower, an Egyptian pyramid, poker chips and Wayne Newton. Yep, that's right, I'm in Vegas for work this week. So, sadly there was no Crockpot Monday.

But, in interesting news, the hospital I'm working with is the very one that treated Roy Horn of the famous Siegfried & Roy duo after he was bitten by one of their white tigers during a performance. And, I happen to be staying at The Mirage, the site of their 13-year show. I was reading an article about it and had to laugh at this: apparently there was a woman with a "big hairdo" in the front row who "fascinated and distracted" the tiger. This prompted Roy to rush in between the crowd and the tiger. He tripped and the tiger grabbed him by the neck to "drag him to safety" as he would a cub.

You have to wonder.... How "big" and "distracting" was this woman's hairdo to cause a tiger to lunge at the jugular of its beloved trainer? Mind you, this tiger just spent the last 7 years of its life with the overly tanned and often bleached and spikey haired duo who were pretty distracting themselves.
