It's past April 1st ... and I doubt pet Gorillas are alowed in your town ... speaking of which:
At the Old forest Zoo near Altoona (now closed down) they had a Mandrill (a Baboon). There was a 6" Ten foot long, PVC pipe that you could roll peanuts, popcorn, and grapes down to him. I got the brrrrright idear' to make OooohOooohOooooh sounds at him through the pipe ...
He dint' like that ... No sir he dint' like that one bit !
For the Baboon shoved that PVC pipe up right into my nose, knocking off my hat, knocking me backwards to the ground, and I blead like a stuffed pig ! A little girl came running "Mommy, Look what the bad monkey did to the poor man". The mother said: "Serves him right for teasing the monkey" !
I don't know what I said in Mandrill langauge ? ... but OoooohOoooohOooooh sure musta' been a bad wurd' to him, and struck a nerve !
