When I was a young'in, I had a Latin teacher.

He was the most fascist person I have ever met. I don't mean that in a wet napkin "oh, he doesn't believe what I believe" kind of way. He told a class of impressionable 13 year olds, that the best way to deal with civil unrest, disorder or any kind of dissent was,"pock, right between the eyes." I won't tell you where he was from, some may guess. There's a certain shift of the "a" and "e" there, though.

That said, he was the first person who (unintentionally) taught me that you could admire someone intellectually while thinking their politics were utter ****.

I digress.

He told us many stories of hippos mauling the **** out of people when he was growing up.To the point that it was almost a given if you went near a watercourse, waterhole or pond of any respectable size.
