Greg crossed his arms and held perfectly still, certain that any sudden movement would shatter the moment. Behind the glass, a two-ton hippopotamus floated mouth-agape like it had just heard the most devastating gossip of its life. The fish darted around its teeth like nervous dental hygienists.

"Don't smile too big," his wife whispered, lining up the shot. "You'll upstage the hippo."

Greg nodded solemnly. He'd worn his nicest gray henley and his chunkiest watch for this exact photo, the one he'd been promising his followers for weeks: Me and my spirit animal.

What he didn't realize was that the hippo wasn't yawning in majestic serenity. The hippo was, in fact, screaming. Silently. Eternally. At the man who had been standing motionless against its tank for forty-five minutes.

The caption Greg posted that night read: "Found my zen."

The hippo found no such thing.

Verdict: it nailed every visual detail, the crossed arms, the chunky watch, the fish orbiting the hippo's open jaws, and turned them into a punchline. Satisfactory.
