Subject: RE: BS: As much as I've grown to dislike Chongo
While I don't dislike Chongo, I'm afraid he won't be getting my vote. You see, someone who lives a half-mile or so from my humble home has taken to heart the idea that living in the country entitles him to own any sort of noisy animal he desires. He owns roosters who don't know they're supposed to sleep at night, geese, Guinea fowl, peafowl, and a goat who seems to be afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome. But his latest acquisition is what seems to be a rather noisy monkey or ape of some sort. I haven't actually seen this animal, I only hear the sound it periodically emits coming through the trees, but said sound is definitely not that of any fowl or ungulate I've ever heard. It's a sort of "whoop" that I can only imagine coming from a simian of some variety. Since I'm exposed to this sound at all hours, I'm afraid the idea of similar vocalizations coming from my radio whenever my president opens his mouth is unbearable.

Yes, I'm aware that my comments are a bit specist, but so be it. I'll cast my vote for a human. He'll probably wind up sounding like a jack ass when he opens his mouth, but I can put up with that. There's a herd of donkeys down the road, but they're not so close that I hear them all the time. The wind has to be blowing from their direction. They still sound sort of cute.
