The following discussion of his encounter with Koko the Gorilla is from William Shatner's new autobio. You may have heard of him - has-been actor and love interest of one of our Canuck members? Or maybe not.

"Over and over I repeated, "I love you, Koko, I love you." And as I said it, I began to feel that love. Finally I stopped directly in front of her and looked into her deep brown eyes and saw her furrowed brow and her enormous hands. "I love you, Koko." And with that she reached out and grabbed me by my balls. And looked me right in the eyes. After a slight pause—in a substantially higher voice—I tried to repeat, "I love you, Koko." Obviously these words had more significance than a few seconds earlier."
