Our high school mascot was the cougars. We had a real life cougar mascot who was very calm and well-behaved for a wild animal.
Anyway, at a basketball game, one of the guys on the away team sort of ran and then slid out of bounds and behind the stage curtain where the mascot was on a leash back there. Evidently, running into a cougar that he didn't know was back there scared him. He came out with pee dripping down his leg...LOL.
