This reminds me, in the 1980s, 11 year old boy swam into the polar bear enclosure in the Prospect Park Zoo in New York City. Unfortunately he was attacked by two polar bears and died. I remember the NYSE traders had a very dark but funny joke about it but I can’t remember it. Does anybody else remember that?

Don’t remember the story, but I’ve been to that zoo.

I remember the incident but not the joke. Sadly, the bears were killed.
