(D@mn Dirty Apes!) Deceptive Chimp Hides Ammo, Blasts Unsuspecting Zoo Visitors

[right way right]

Naw, if he were a democrat he would thrown poo.

Oh please, this is nothing new. Behaviorists have known that chimps are sneaky, vengeful, and dangerous animals in the wild for years. They will orchestrate attacks on neighboring monkey colonies and eat the monkeys.

Heck, when I was in grade school, we had a field trip to the zoo, and I distinctly recall a chimp doing funny things to get us to come near the edge, and then he whipped around an grabbed a big handful of dung and flung it out, hitting Steve Polski right in the chest!

You got that right!

Chimps: G-d's little B team if we do ourselves in.

“Intriguingly, past research showed the ape calmly gathered stones from his enclosure’s moat and pieces of concrete he pulled off an artificial island into stockpiles he later hurled at zoo visitors — an instance of spontaneous planning for a future event, a mental ability once widely thought limited to humans.”

Whoa...this is interesting. Apparently, I am a great ape, too! I love hurling things at people with whom I don’t agree.

And, I have my own weapon caches.

Wow!

“Chimps: G-d’s little B team if we do ourselves in.”

I’m going to be just fine. ;o)

I suspect that after giving him an Italian name it was only natural for him to become deceptive.

You’ll be fine; I’m going to stockpile bananas.

*DING*DING*DING*DING* You both are on the right path, the operative word being 'crap'. Rocks ain't the only thing chimps will fling at zoo gawkers. *SPLAT*

How unsavory.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

LOL!!!

If the chimp learns not to throw rocks for fear of retaliation, then he’s a lot smarter than the Palis.

What retaliation? How often are Palestinians retaliated against over rock throwing?

If a few Pali rock throwers got rock-salt shotgun blasts in the crotch, I guarantee you the rock throwing would stop.

[Joe Brower]

Saw that very thing happen long ago on a school field trip to some zoo in New York. A classmate was taunting one chimp and it just let fly. Good aim, too. Someone else in the crowd commented at the time they should sign the chimp up to pitch for the Yankees.

So it’s been said time and time again that man comes from apes.

But were did the apes come from?

Cats? Dogs? Squirrels? Mice? Gila Monsters? Geckos? Cranes? Storks? Dolphins? Whales? Gar?

[Slings and Arrows]

But were did the apes come from?

Mommy and Daddy apes, who loved each other very much.

Didn't exactly turn out well for the other Santino.
