Which part of the phrase "killer whale" did they not understand?

Kukai_AokiSomeone must have gave the owners the wrong sea-animal encyclopedia:
Killer Whale-
"A docile whale that feeds on only the smallest of animals, and only when provoked. Loves to cuddle!"

Wow, I didn't know he inspired one of Ellison's greatest stories. I did know he played the Joker in a Batman movie and fell victim to its legendary curse.

Curse? Cesar Romero lived to 86, and Jack is still with us. Is there a curse? Of course, I know about Ledger.
