Flying Chimp Poo
NY1 had footage this afternoon of Gracie the chimp, who got out of her cage at the Los Angeles Zoo and forced evacuation of the entire park. While I was working for the LA Daily News, I had the pleasure of meeting Gracie - or rather her poop - which she hurled in my direction because I was foolish enough to interview her keeper near the cages, thus keeping said keeper from getting feeding time started on schedule. I was standing there with a photographer, the chimp keeper and the zoo's main PR person (who was there because the zoo was still getting a lot of bad press after almost losing its accreditation.) Gracie's hot steaming poop came in a powerful lob that managed to nail the PR woman's expensive shoes. If only Gracie knew how many reporters would have paid to see her throw her poop at their favorite flak.
