The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. “I’m a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.” The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “ Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”
