Life's a Circus, Friday, Second Period
"Sometimes in life, all it comes down to is whether you want to do something risky that could be incredibly rewarding or play it safe and don't do that risky thing because, honestly, it's probably insane," Dick said. "And in the circus, we have specialists called lion tamers who basically train lions to not attack or eat them."
Dick hit a button on the Danger Shop remote and a lion approached him. "The signature trick of the lion tamer is to stick their head in the lion's mouth. When you have the lion trained to the point where he'll keep his mouth open long enough without deciding you look tasty, you're probably not in too much danger. But you still have to face a mouth full of sharp teeth, powerful jaws, and the knowledge that you could potentially lose your life in an instant."
The lion opened his mouth wide, and Dick bent down, sticking his head into the mouth for several seconds before stepping back and letting the lion close its mouth. "So, do you take the chance to do something few people are bold enough to do? Or do you reasonably play it safe and just take it easy today? At this point you're either in the circus or you're in the audience. This final will decide that where you are."

Re: The Audience or the Lion
She gave the lion a narrow-eyed look as she approached. "You eat me, dude, I will eat you back."
What? It wasn't like the lion could tell that didn't make sense.
"Well, come on, what are you waiting for? Open your mouth." The lion gave her a narrow-eyed look in return, then seemed to roll its eyes as it opened its mouth wide enough to accommodate Sam's head. Sam stuck her head in, held her arms up in a "tada!" gesture, then straightened back up. She looked at the lion consideringly.
"How'd you like to be an internet sensation?"
She might not have entirely grasped the "things in the danger shop aren't real" concept, yet. Despite the illusory ham incident.
