Random Wordplay for Wednesday 2/2/11

Grannies on Safari.

Used in a sentence: "The voice I enjoy hearing on the local news this week is ... the poor senior citizen on-the-ground in Egypt who keeps on filing reports from the situation as she tours with her group, Grannies on Safari."

Look -- I understand that this is serious and that the violence is getting out of hand (I know so because even Anderson Cooper got beat about the head and shoulders!). So I shouldn't jest. After all, the last time I can recall this level of upheaval is when Anwar Sadat got shot during my step-mother's daily dose of General Hospital (a story I didn't share when I got to meet Mrs. Sadat when she came to an IU#13 event back home in May of 88). But, come on, Grannies on Safari -- how does that phrase not put an image in your head that causes you to smile?
