P.S.
That reminds me ... you're not Shawn Bradley, are you?
Because he, too, was (very) tall and skinny.

I don't think I could shoot a dog either, pkcricket,
I'd probably just end up shooting the keeper (to put him out of his misery).

Actually, Dave ...
gorillas are
apes (as are chimps, orangs, baboons, mandrills and gibbons). Everybody else is a monkey.

It is rather complicated, isn't it, Ben?
I think there may be a few logic flaws in there, as well.

You gotta feel for whoever's job it was to train that dog
Have to do it over and over again, and give him treats and encouragement each time.

Mam'sell,
I just realized I commented on the comments and didn't say anything about the post that started it all. Sorry about that. Here, I'll say something to make it up to you:
I saw a Gorilla up in a tree once. The zoo keeper was there, but wasn't carrying a gun. Maybe it was because he was a she and didn't have to worry about the dog.

I won't take too much stock, Mademoiselle, I'm being distracted, too
by the Mariners and Colorado Rockies game, and my boyfriend who is in dire need of foot rubs.

I used to volunteer at the zoo, Blanche, and found the gorillas to be rather peaceable creatures, actually.
Provided I gave in to their lascivious advances.

Mademoiselle, I would be very leery
of getting involved with an escaped gorilla at all. I suppose the gun would make it a little safer.

No offense intended Mademoiselle.....as (I think) you know Samhain is Halloween, hence the witch, and Moon.....well of course that is self-explanatory.....as with all my comments Madem, if anything offends in the least....feel free to simply delete....I won't be angry or resentful in the least.....I might, however, decide to write a blog about you.
