How Could You NOT Need a Gorilla Suit?

Well, people, my gorilla suit is in high demand. I'm "renting" it out to someone who needs it for a gorilla go-go dancer to be part of a performance by a band called The Chimpanzees. When we discussed the rental, we had a very funny conversation, and it here is a snippet.

Gorilla Suit Borrower: Hey so where did you get your gorilla suit?
Me: Oh, it was part of my entry packet for the Great Gorilla Run. The whole reason I entered the race was because I got a gorilla suit to keep keep for all eternity.
GSB: Maybe I'll go on Craigslist see if someone is selling theirs.
Me: Really? You think? Why would anybody sell a gorilla suit? How could you not need one?
GSB: Well, Cardelia, some people aren't as forward-thinking as us.
Me: Some people are really weird.
GSB: So true.

Now I suppose you are wondering, why does one need a gorilla suit? And here are a few examples of how a gorilla suit comes in handy.

1. You always have a standby costume for all occasions.
2. You are always available should a local record store need to use a gorilla in one of their commercials.
3. It's cold outside, but you don't want to wear a coat. A gorilla suit on the other hand...
4. You ate too much pizza, so now your clothes don't fit. But the gorilla suit does.
5. Bad hair day, pimple on your nose....all these things can be hidden by a gorilla mask.
6. You never know when a Monkees cover band might need a gorilla go-go dancer.

Have I forgotten any?

  1. 7. In the case of global freezing.. it's a pretty good first line of defense.

    8. Gain instant respect -- or at least attention.

    9. When you run out of clean clothes.
