Episode description

To watch a giraffe drinking is to observe the problem of a long neck. It must require a peristaltic pump that could drain a swimming pool. And don’t talk about the air pump strong enough to prevent hypoxia (oxygen starvation). In the long-necked department, however, giraffes are historically a doddle.
