Chinga is one of Amos's imaginary playmates, Don. He dreams up stories about them to piss other people off. (meaning me, mostly)

Chinga's brother, Chingo, is quite real, though. He rents from me part time...he comes up here in the good weather to get away from the hustle-bustle in Chicago. The only thing I don't like about Chongo is the cigar smoke....but he is kind enough to only smoke outdoors on the patio when he visits me here in Orillia.

Chongo is a fascinating character. He came over on a banana boat from west central Africa in the late 20's, actually witnessed the shocking events that culminated in King Kong's untimely death on the streets of Manhattan, and has fought for truth, justice, and the American Way on the gritty streets of the Windy City ever since he hung out his sign there in the late 30's....

"Chongo Chimp, Primate Eye - Any case solved, LARGE or small, but NO divorce cases!"

Chongo has a personally autographed photo of Primo Carnera on his office wall, he once put the cuffs on Al Capone, and he has drunk a beer and shared time on the firing range with Clint Eastwood.
