“An act of cruelty to an animal!” hisses Mummy Lulu. “Fuck him!”

 


Mummy Lulu takes a hit of her beer and wipes her lips with her thick spongy tongue. “Gu Ruzhang was a Chinese martial artist who lived during the early 20th century. He was famous for his Iron Palm.” She crosses her legs, exposing knobby knees and varicose veins that look like a road map.  “His celebrated exploit took place in a Russian circus that was performing in Canton City, present-day Guangzhou. The audience was invited to make a horse lie down in return for a prize money.  Several people tried but were kicked by the horse. Gu performed his Iron Palm on the back of the horse, and it collapsed, lying down sideways. The next day the animal died from internal injuries and a broken spine.” Mummy Lulu raises her middle finger. “What a cruel act to an animal! Fuck Gu Ruzhang!”
