Rhinotillexomania-
it �s the permanent urge, the drive the
craving,
the
compulsion, to tickle a rhinoceros in the sides whenever
you come across one.
Don �t tell me it�s a ridiculous thing to do - I know very well a rhino can �t
feel the tickling on account of its thick skin.
That �s exactly why rhinotillexomania is a classified mental disease. There is a
study group at the university of Padua, Italy, that is working on new
behavioral treatment, but not much success has been reported as yet.
It�s
a sad thing to suffer from Rhinotillexomania . A friend of mine suffered
from a bad case of Rhinotillexomania- he only
recovered after moving to a town that was 150 km away from the nearest zoo. He
still occasionally cheats with cuddly toy rhinos which he tickles secretly and his collection of books on rhinos is considerable� but
his therapist considers him to be almost cured

I think Rhinotillexomania is the sequel of the beautiful historic novel by Pauline Gedge " Hippopotamus Marsh". The story starts with the complaint letter of the foreign power of Setiu, the rulers of Uplands in Egypt. The noise of the hippopotamuses was just an excuse to start a war against the twelfth Dynasty of the Egyptians, the legendery Seqenenra, the hereditary king. The Setiu ruler just demanded to put muzzles on the Hippopotami... The war started. But where �s hippopotamus there �s always a rhino somewhere nearby, so it �s more likely, the next pretext will fell upon another innocent animal...
Anyway, the book is extremely interesting.

Rhino- a wild animal til- until lexo- from the greek "lexis", word mania- an unbeatable urge Therefore: Rhinotillexomania is the urge to teach a rhino how to communicate using human vocabulary until you run out of energy, usually felt by teachers of English!!!
