Good morning. I'm David Greene. Next time you're in England on a wild animal safari, leave your animal print outfits at home, OK?

There will be bouncers enforcing the code, giving offending visitors bland, gray jumpsuits to put on. I guess they're not that worried about visitors dressed like elephants.
