No one can tackle the toughest societal quandaries like a Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. They don't monkey around ... or chimp around ... or ape around. (I promise, I am not thinking of a black person here).
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Captive Primate Safety Act is on its way to becoming law. (Let your cerebral fanfare bellow out across the fruited plane). And while there was no white smoke coming from the Capitol Building chimney to indicate when it was actually passed, a page was said to be seen tossing bananas from the roof.
The House of Representatives was clearly not fooling around. (They were probably told to pretend this was an Obama stimulus bill and shove this thing through as quickly as possible). By a vote of 323 to 95, with America still in the grip of chimp chatter, and monkey-talk dominating blogs everywhere, the House passed a bill that stops the interstate commerce in primates as pets.
In short ...

How many one eyed men think that sharp sticks should be outlawed? Where does it stop?
Round up all the monkeys, chimps, apes, and gorillas (for those of you not “in the know”, they're all the same animal, just different ages) and let them loose in the Superdome and then let people hunt them down!
Or wait, what about one of those indoor water parks! That'd be awesome!
Another law that restricts freedom.
...I think that’s a great idea. Feds, I’m a primate, let me go!!!
This is blatant speciesism. How many chimpanzees were consulted before the bill was drawn up? Only human opinion was taken into account.
How about round up all the Democrat politicians in the SuperDome and let the apes hunt them down?
In a land of the blind, a one eyed man would be king.........
These last several years have brought out such a fervor of activity from our Congress that I have never witnessed before in my entire lifetime.
From steroids to now monkeys.........In my opinion, they have become so drunk with power that they believe that they can achieve stardom via their posturing on the now televised Congressional hearings. The more hearings, the more television coverage..........
...Va. Beach, VA. has a H2O park, with a 30 ft. gorilla guarding the entrance, dis-remember the name. The city made him wear a diaper after someone fed him hot spice logs. Fire from his arse closed the park for 3 days...
...They never found the culprits...
...Sorry,,,
...Wouldn’t consider most of Congress to be evolved to primate stage, more like viruses...
I tend to agree. I don’t know the specifics of this bill, but in general I’m not in favor of exotic, wild animals as pets. Far too many of them are not properly cared for or are abandoned when the owner(s) realize the expense involved with maintaining the animal. I’ve read that’s especially true in the case of large feral cats, such as tigers.
I used to work with a guy that actually did get his eye poked out with a stick when he was a kid.
Welcome to “Planet of the Democrats”
How do you like that a congress and house full of chimps banning themselves, comincal, funnier than Al Franken, also not hard to do!
