We nicknamed a chimp at the NC Zoo Ernest T because of only one thing, and
here is the story.
After my father died we brought my mother to Raleigh several times, and on
one visit we went to the zoo. When we got to the chimp area, we had to dodge
rocks as one of the chimps would pick up any he could find, do a short back and
forth windup, and let loose! He beaned a keeper one day, so they put up a
screen to protect the visitors and keepers, and then went in and picked up
all the rocks they could find.
Here is the funny part: When my mother got home, she wrote my sister about
being at the zoo where a chimp was throwing rocks at us! Well, my sister
wrote me and told me Mama was slipping...said she had been to the zoo and the
chimps were throwing rocks at us!! I had to write her back and tell her that
was true! Later an article was in the paper about the rock throwing chimp so
I made a copy and mailed it to her.
Anyway, that is my story about a chimp we named Ernest T Bass and I am
sticking to it!
