For reasons completely unknown to me, I was recently thinking about the TV series, "Jungle Jim," which starred Johnny Weissmuller. When I was a kid, I loved watching "Jungle Jim." The opening contained an expository segment that explained that once there was a land bridge between Sub-Saharan Africa and India. An animated sequence showed this land bridge and then explained that as the last Ice Age ended and the glaciers melted, the sea levels rose and only the tops of the mountains of this land bridge remained as islands. And on these islands, animals native to both Sub-Saharan Africa and India survived. Thus, providing an explanation for why Jungle Jim encountered both lions and tigers (and presumably bears!) on a day-to-day basis. I knew that no such islands existed, but that knowledge in no way diminished (a) my enjoyment of watching the show and (b) the sheer idiocy of the explanation of lions and tigers living together.
And for equally inexplicable reasons, the following ditty came to mind when recalling "Jungle Jim" - - "Tarzan, Tarzan through the air, Tarzan lost his underwear. Tarzan said, 'Me no care, Jane get me another pair.' Jane, Jane through the air, Jane lost her underwear. Jane said, 'Me no care, Boy get me another pair.' Boy, Boy through the air, Boy lost his underwear. Boy said, 'Me no care, Cheeta get me another pair.' Cheeta, Cheeta through the air, Cheeta lost his underwear. Cheeta said, 'Me no care, Cheeta don't wear no underwear.'" It is an absolute wonder my Mother didn't smother me in my sleep.
