Chimp woman

Nobody could snore better than Shemp.

But Curly Joe, the most hated Stooge ever.

A show of hands on how many people were abused by their older siblings in "Stooge" fashion.

My older brother was the re-carnation of Moe (The Human, maube the chimp to).

An interesting tangent. My brother and I were warned by my father never to try mixing up potions in a rubber boot, like the Stooges (Shemp era of course). He worked in a hospital and had been involved in a couple of incidents of kids drinking rubber boot formulas that could have killed them. In one of the rubber boot appearances, they concocted a fountain of youth formula that turned the old lady into a slinky hot young blond. Yet when her ancient husband drank the formula he turned into....AN APE? Moe? Coincidence? There are no coincidences. One one hand, classic Yiddish vaudevillians. On the other, Nostradamus.

I think I am down with the chimps going apesh!t and ripping off fingers and ripping out eyes. They get angry, sure, and there you go. But ripping off the johnson? That is not cool.

The lady who was injured isn't even the owner...she is a neighbor who tried to help. This paragraph of the story cited above is REALLY scary:

"Doctors said yesterday that she lost her hands, nose, lips and eyelids in the mauling and may also have been left blind and brain-damaged."

Oh. My. God. The poor lady!

I guess after that would you want to live?

Did you see the noseless guys picture? They should have at least made him a tin nose like in that old cowboy movie, with Bruce Coburn?

I was thinking of Lee Marvin as Tim Strong in Cat Ballou.

Yes, that was it!

This guy ran into a chimp, and he'll take a tin nose.

He's probably a state legislator by now. And well-qualified for the job.

How's that saying go? There are two things that you don't want to see being made- sausage, and the law

The chimp attack victim's family is filing a $50 million lawsuit. AP story

Are there chimp owner insurance policies?

You can buy specialty coverage for just about anything -- for a price, of course.

In this case, I wonder if the owner's insurer even knew about the chimp.

I doubt she does
