C-a-C: ‘Hmm … you pose an interesting question, Ted Turner’

"I suppose I would have to say that I have a difficult time believing that a donkey and an ogre could become such good friends in real life, because while studies suggest that several types of animals display the capacity for friendship as humans understand it, donkeys have not yet been counted among that number, and also, ogres do not exist.

So, two great things came of this meeting. We should all feel good about that.

Best caption wins Ted Turner riding a stuffed buffalo and berating Conan O'Brien, an event that today celebrates its one-year anniversary. Good luck.
