Is that the VD type of Herpes or the other kind ???
To: george76
What’s going on at that zoo, anyway?
I also heard that some of the birds in their aviary have come down with Chirpees.
It’s another canarial disease. Sadly, there’s no tweetment.

They also discovered a group of pygmie monkeys are infected with twerpies.
Plus, someone contaminated the snow-cone machine with slurpies.
