J--'s Trivia 'n' Tidbits ... Part 3 ...

"Did you know that the Giant Panda Bear is a gravely endangered species,?" J-- asked as he approached the table, a coffee in one hand, and the newspaper in another.

"That so?" answered one of the two men sitting there.

"Absolutely," replied J--, as he sat down, "Says it right here in this article."

"Really," replied the other regular at the table, "simply fascinating," his voice dripped in sarcasm.

"It actually is quite fascinating,"J-- paused to take a sip of coffee, "They have a huge breeding programme in China to try and save the Giant Panda from extinction. They put the male and female together and ..."

"Let nature take its course?" asked one of the regulars.

"Well, that's just it," replied J--, "it says here in the article about the Panda mom who accidentally crushed her baby last week that they are having real problems getting the pandas to do what should come naturally."

"Really?" replied the second regular, his interest being piqued.

"Yeah," continued J--, "but they've come up with a solution to the problem."

"A solution?" asked the second regular hesitantly, "what kind of a solution?"

"Turns out," J-- referred back to the article, "that they have had great success when they show the two of them a video of other pandas doing what nature intends ..."

"Panda Porn?" the first regular said, dumb struck.

"Yup," said J-- smiling, "Panda porn !!"

"Some things are too strange NOT to be true," said the second regular with a shake of his head.
