A chimp made a pass at me in my pink jumpsuit. He thought I was up
for it. Cheeky boy. Sad to hear that Louis the star of the PG Tips ads
is dead. No one will forget him hauling that piano as the scruffian
says: " Dad, do you know the piano's on my foot?" "You hum it son and
I'll play it," is a classic.
They don't do tea parties at the zoo
any more or dress them up in hats and pants for TV ads. That has to be a
good thing. Watching them hang about listlessly in our zoos is another
matter. A chimp can work out how to get a peanut from the bottom of a
tube far faster than most humans would manage it.* Are they bored out of
their big brains?
Look into any chimp's eyes and a cousin stares
back. In 100 years will we look back and be ashamed at what we did to
these amazing animals?
*He sucked up water from his drinking bowl
and spat it into the tube until the peanut flloated to the surface. Too
clever for comfort.
