[ I worked in the North Stamford, Ct. area for 10 years and saw Travis the chimp being chauffeured around in his owner’s tow truck a few times. I wasn’t surprised when he escaped and tied up traffic for hours, and I wasn’t surprised several years later when he attacked Charla Nash. Nasty creature.

I used to enjoy the Koko stories, but this one is just TOO dumb.

Gorillas find the type of humor represented by Robin Williams to be puerile slapstick of the lowest order and prefer the sophisticated humor of Penn & Teller.

With an occasional foray into the madcap and zany world of Moe, Larry, and Curly./s

Don’t knock Koko. She has a Masters degree from Princeton in Race, Gender, and White Privilege studies as a student of Cornel West.

Then she was on the executive board of ACORN, before being appointed to the Inspector General’s office at the Justice Department. (She left under a cloud after accusing congressman Elijah E. Cummings (MD-07) of sexual harassment.)

Then, in a duet with Beyonce, she was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song, for “I like bananas”, which further alienated her from the administration after Michelle Obama complained that bananas make children fat, so should not songs about them.

Koko misses William Shatner more. Koko grabbed Captain Kirk’s junk when they met.

The duet with Beyonce is surprisingly plausible.
