Mr. Gorilla: "I fart in your general direction."
Meanwhile, where was the chaperon?
I HATE ZOOS.
That was great!
Beautiful gorilla too.
If my kid had done that, we’d have been out the gate and headed home and he’d wish he’d never heard of the zoo. Horrid little creatures. The kids, not the gorilla. I’d probably have been on the evening news for giving them some harsh words.
Where the hell were the parents and/or teachers that were responsible for these kids? This is disgusting.
One of the things that used to really burn me when my kid was that age was how my wife and I frequently had to deal with other kids whose parents stood there and let them do things just like this. We’d put them in line and then the parents would whine and we’d put them in line also. In no uncertain terms. And they always backed down.
Go to a buffet restaurant and observe how many parents *watch* their children contaminate the food and say nothing.
bfl
Those kids are badly in need of having their butts whipped.
Ping for later.
Back in the 20s or 30s, the Dallas zoo had an ape called Henry. The exhibits in those days had an outdoor section with the ape separated from the crowd with simple iron bars.
Henry had a bad habit of throwing food and things at the crowd outside his cage. My mother was a inquisitive child and when she saw the crowd backed up out of range it never occurred to her that there must be a reason. So she ran right up close to the bars, standing there with her mouth agape.
Henry took one look and must’ve made a plan. He went to his food pail and chewed up some carrots and then got a mouthful of water. Then he walked over in front of my mother and spit it all in her face. She got a mouthful.
She developed some kind of phobia about animals and could never get around one without having a reaction which included uncontrollable spitting. It was a funny family story which was handed down over the years. She’s 93 now and I’m gonna show her the YouTube video.
Too much television, I suspect.
That was nothing.
If a gorilla is really angry, it’ll pound its chest so hard that the ground shakes. Then it’ll bare its huge teeth and charge you.
Gorilla = Tea party. Kids = Senate.
