Lions

This one is so strange I might delete it right after posting it.
But here goes.
We all love Jackie Fullerton, the iconic commentator on BBC Northern Ireland. But I wonder if he has ever used the phrase, " testicles the size of lions"? In the context of, " Oh, can you believe it? He must have testicles the size of lions to have scored from there!"
Now, considering that he ever said it, which he probably didn't, although if you try doing an impression of him and saying it, it does sound like something he MIGHT say. Does he mean each individual testicle is the size of a lion? Or does he mean the testicles are the same size as a lion's? Or is it just a metaphor that suggests the strength and aggressive attacking ability of a lion?
Who knows? But male lions don't really do much attacking. They leave that up to the wives. So testicles don't really come into it.
But never mind that. A far better thing would be lions the size of testicles. Can you imagine? Tiny little testicle-sized lions. They would make great pets. You could just feed them mice or something. Simply construct a miniature reproduction of the Serengeti on your living room floor, paint some stripes on the mice so that they look like zebra, and let the games begin!
It would be great entertainment. You could invite your neighbours round, offer them nibbles and so on. It would be great!
