Junior Chubb Posted June 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2014 What a great example of the importance of communication in the work place. Hopefully the victim makes a full recovery, and the vet goes to the opticians. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted June 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It must have been a darn good gorilla suit to have fooled the vet. I can only imagine how stooopid! he/she would be feeling. I hope the fellow who got needled will be alright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Shaun Posted June 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Or there is always the possibility that the Vet new the guy and didnt like him "Oh Im terribly sorry I didnt realise it was you in a suit" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximusnow Posted June 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) News Flash! Finally proof! A Bigfoot was tranquilized at a Spanish Zoo today and the body has been taken to a hospital for examination. We are waiting outside the hospital for a press conference where we will finally get to the bottom of what thousands of witnesses are seeing in the woodlands of the world.

Still Waters Posted June 5, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Update - A Spanish zoo has denied that one of its keepers was wearing a gorilla suit when mistakenly shot with a tranquilliser dart by veterinary staff. http://www.telegraph...rilla-suit.html It also says "But he has made a full recovery and is already back at work," - So that's good to know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Chubb Posted June 5, 2014 #25 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Especially if one of the female gorillas decided she *liked* him! I think a bit of male attention would yield more devastating consequences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
