AUDIO: CHINESE TIGER URINE GOOD FOR WHAT AILS YOU
A Chinese zoo has started selling tiger urine, for its “medicinal properties.” The Yaan Bifengxia Wildlife Zoo, in the southwestern Sichuan province, is selling “medicinal tiger urine,” allegedly from Siberian tigers, for about $5 a bottle. The zoo recommends it be mixed with white wine and applied to the affected areas, along with slices of ginger, to treat rheumatoid arthritis, sprains, and muscle pain. They add that it was safe for oral consumption but one should stop if you get an allergic reaction. The zoo says they sell a couple of bottles a day.
* It should be fine, because there’s nothing more sanitary than a Chinese zoo.
* The poor guy who has to collect it is named Wan Sum Pi.
* Maybe they could filter the tiger urine to remove the tiger urine.
* Make it carbonated?
* Finally, something disgusting that won’t become a YouTube Challenge.
* “Wait – this isn’t tiger urine! Unless has someone been feeding the tigers asparagus.”
