					<description><![CDATA[Jane Goodall, noted expert on chimpanzees, discovered a vicious war between two chimpanzee groups and was horrified. As I recall, she did not publish her findings immediately.
______________________________

&lt;i&gt;The outbreak of the war came as a disturbing shock to Goodall, who had previously considered chimpanzees to be, although similar to human beings, &quot;rather &#039;nicer&#039;&quot;.[14] Coupled with her 1975 observation of cannibalistic infanticide by a high-ranking female in the community, the Gombe war revealed the &quot;dark side&quot; of chimpanzee behavior.[14] In her 1990 memoir Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe, she wrote:

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;For several years I struggled to come to terms with this new knowledge. Often when I woke in the night, horrific pictures sprang unbidden to my mind—Satan [one of the apes], cupping his hand below Sniff&#039;s chin to drink the blood that welled from a great wound on his face; old Rodolf, usually so benign, standing upright to hurl a four-pound rock at Godi&#039;s prostrate body; Jomeo tearing a strip of skin from Dé&#039;s thigh; Figan, charging and hitting, again and again, the stricken, quivering body of Goliath, one of his childhood heroes. ...[15]

					<description><![CDATA[&#062;&#062; I’ve been wary of all monkeys.

Don&#039;t blame the monkeys, Chimps are apes - notoriously sadistic apes.  

That snub nosed monkey looks like a tree dweller with his long fingers and toes &#038; his nose suggests that he&#039;s adapted for colder climates - so maybe a mountain monkey.   

He looks a bit like Moe Howard.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There was this guy named Orville.  And he needed a job.  As he was walking down the street he saw a sign in front of this building.  The sign said &quot;BE RICH BE A SALESMAN.&quot; 

So Orville went into the building and said &quot;I&#039;m the best salesman in the world.&quot; The manager replied &quot;Well then if that&#039;s the case I&#039;ll give you the job.  &quot;First we have a large supply of toothbrushes that need to be sold.  Do you think you can handle that?&quot; 

Orville said &quot; Of course.&quot; 

So Orville went out on the streets to sell his toothbrushes.  A week went by and Orville&#039;s boss wanted to see him.  He asked Orville how many toothbrushes he had sold.  Orville replied &quot;I only sold twenty.&quot; He said.

 &quot;Orville if you want to keep this job you will have to sell more than that.&quot; Orville walks out with his briefcase full of toothbrushes.  This time instead of selling them on the street he went down in the subway.  Another week went by and Orville&#039;s boss called him into the office for another weekly report.  

His boss asked him how many toothbrushes he sold this week.  Orville replied &quot; I only sold fifty this week.&quot; &quot;Not enough,&quot; his boss said &quot;I&#039;ll give you one more chance.&quot; So he went out again to sell toothbrushes, and this time he went to the airport.  

Another more week had passed by. Orville&#039;s boss called him in.  He said &quot; How many toothbrushes have you sold?&quot; 

Orville replied, &quot;I sold 47,391!&quot;

His boss goggled, &quot;Holy COW!  How did you sell all of those?  

Orville answered, &quot;Well you see I was at the airport selling these toothbrushes and I brought chips and dip.  And when the people walked by I asked them If they wanted some chips and dip. They said &quot;sure.&quot; After they tasted it they said &quot; This taste like shit!&quot;

Orville replied &quot;It is! Want to buy a toothbrush??????????????&quot;]]></description>
