Dear Readers:
Back in the 70′s when I lived in Vancouver, we booked the J. Geils Band into the Commodore Ballroom for a concert.
The show was a mild success, but the next morning we had to take the profit and use it to bail the boys out of jail.
Seems that sometime during the night one of the guys phoned room service at the hotel they were staying at, and found out they were closed. (This was around three or four in the morning)
Not wanting a little thing like that to stop them, the band marched down to the kitchen, broke in, and proceeded to get themselves beer and sandwiches.
Like I said, we had to bail them out the next morning, which brings me to today’s story!
A zookeeper was injured Friday while trying to corral some gorillas that managed to break into a kitchen at the Calgary Zoo. Malu Celli, a zoo curator, said the man was treated in hospital for undisclosed minor injuries and released.
OH…………. ! DID I MENTION THAT A COUPLE OF THE GUYS IN THE BAND LOOKED LIKE GORILLAS?

A zookeeper was injured Friday while trying to corral some gorillas that managed to break into a kitchen at the Calgary Zoo. Malu Celli, a zoo curator, said the man was treated in hospital for undisclosed minor injuries and released.
Celli said staff are not sure how many of the western lowland gorillas, which can weigh as much as 270 kg, got into the kitchen from their enclosure in the rainforest exhibit.
There are eight of the gorillas, which are native to central Africa, at the Calgary Zoo.
Celli said the kitchen is attached to the enclosure and is filled with food gorillas eat, including fruit, fresh vegetables and grain.
The animals involved were safely moved back to the exhibit.
