Seals With A Kiss

The curator of the Chrislip Zoo reports some strange behavior among the pinnipeds, or "seals", in his charge. Many of the hairless mammals have taken a keen interest in his 13-year-old son. The boy (whose identity we won't reveal except for showing his face over there) is victimized whenever he enters the seal exhibit at feeding time.

Oddly enough, this has a precedent, according to Chrislip College veterinary professor Alan Reid. "The condition is called pinnipedophilia," he explains. "For whatever reason, there are some seals who develop an 'I've got it bad and that ain't good' attraction to children."

The curator says he won't consider the matter a problem until his son complains, and "he sure hasn't so far."

Next week the seal exhibit will be closed while the pinnipedophiles receive treatment for vitiligo, a medical condition that turns the skin white.
