26 Feb 07 - 02:13 AM (#1979581) Subject: RE: BS: A question for Chongo From: Gurney Probably they don't find any chimp suspects because the chimps have watertight alibis, such as "I was visiting my cousin Shealagh the Bonobo." No. Second thoughts. Shealagh would have to say "Well, SOMEONE was behind me, anyway." I'll have to solicit alternative alibis. Any offerings? I hope there is no-one named Shealagh on this forum. |
