Who Are We Talking About?

Two fellows went to the circus and saw the cage containing a tiger pacing back and forth, growling, and baring his teeth.  At that moment, a beautiful lady entered the cage.  The two men held their breath as the tiger prepared to pounce.  Suddenly, the lady pointed  and said, "Sit!" and the tiger sat.  She said, "Crawl!" and the tiger crawled.

The two men continued to watch, amazed at what they were seeing.  The young lady extended her hand toward the tiger and he licked her hand like a kitten.  She leaned over and the tiger gently licked her face.

One man turned to the other and said, "Man, I wouldn't do that for anything in the world!"  

"I would." said the other.

"Are you crazy?  You wouldn't dare do that!"

Then the second man turned to his friend and said, "You bet I will.  Just do something with that tiger for me."
