Chimp Steals Gun From Zookeeper In Japan

A chimp in Japan escaped the sweltering confines of his cage, and a zookeeper with a tranquilizer gun proved no match for this feisty animal. The zookeeper can be seen peeking his head and rifle over the ledge of the roof on which the chimp was resting before quickly crouching down, sensing the chimp had noticed him. The chimp pounced on the ledge, grabbing the barrel of the zookeeper's tranquilizer gun and snatching it away, leaving the poor human defenseless.

Score one for the apes.

The score quickly turned even, though, when all it took to subdue the chimp was the promise of banana.

This is too funny. I love it when caged beasts pull one over on us "superior," humans.

Oh ... this makes it but I throw a little existentialism in the mix and suddenly I am zapped for thought crimes. It's not an insult ... It's a joke. You know ... Put twenty of them in a room with typewriters ... you know ... after a period of time ..... They will type it out over and over. To the chimps who don't understand the humour .... It's an old joke.

As they took the primate away in a drugged daze he could be heard mumbling .....

there... is.... no ...... GAWD!!!

Scalia has ruled the second amendment applies to apes, too.

For some reason this made me think of cops with tasers. Seems like there is a lesson in here about using a little creativity instead of resorting immediately to shooting someone...

They failed to mention that the chimp drank his milkshake and took his mom out for falafals and a loofah scrubdown.

Zoo are for Liberals who live in concrete cities and never see animals in the wild. There should be no zoos only places that contain and protect animals going extinct. Thank liberals for all the abuse to animals in all the zoos.

It's Nature's way of thumbing her nose at us malcontents. Too funny.

Would it hurt to name the zoo or the city?

Japan is a big place!

Poor guy - I really feel so sorry for animals when they are kept in cages for our selfish entertainment. It is just not right on any level. Too bad he didn't know how to use that rifle. I wish all circuses were banned everywhere. Human circuses are fine. Cirque de Soleil
