The Chimp

Hey!

Ho!

Here she is, the big attraction!

Ethel, the human chimpanzee!

She reads, writes, plays the piano, and milks a cow!

Aha!

Something for men only, Lady Godiva, and Peeping Tom.

Wait a minute!

Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Ohhh!

Wait, wait a minute!

Get off of my face!

That settles it.

That's the last time that I'm gonna

be in this end of the horse.

Well, I can't go in there.

Why?

Well, you look better in that end than I do.

Do you mean to insinuate that I look like a horse's...

Come on, come on, you guys.

Get busy, hurry up there now, make it snappy.

Get a move on around here.

There's too much stalling going on.

Yes, sir.

Give me a hand.

Here.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next stupendous attraction will

be the one and only Destructo, the cannon-ball king.

Ow!

Aah!

Hold this a minute.

You ruined my first trick.

Get the cannon ready.

Yes, sir.

Announce the cannon trick.

Ladies and gentlemen, the great

Destructo will capture cannonball

shot from a real cannon, and that is not all,

ladies and gentlemen, Destructo will be blindfolded.

Oh, it's gonna...

Get out of here quick, it's...

Well, after seven weeks of continuous rains and no

business, I'm afraid we've got to fold up.

I'm flat broke.

Well, how about our salary?

Yeah!

Yeah, and how about me?

You haven't given me one dime since we left Houston.

Well, now, just a minute.

I can't give you what I haven't got,

and I want to do the right thing.

I've got a plan.

I am gonna split up this show evenly amongst you.

How do you mean?

I mean that each one of you will receive

some valuable part of the show in place of your salary.

Now, I am gonna take and write each separate item

on a piece of paper and place them in a hat,

and what each one of you draw, you get.

Oh!

I'll probably draw the talking cuckoo!

Well, nevertheless, that's what I'm gonna do.

You said the same thing in Des Moines!

You got to have money to eat!

What'cha doing?

I'm building a crate.

What for?

Look at what I drew.

What'cha gonna do with her?

I'm gonna try and sell it to the zoo.

Oh.

What did you draw?

I got the flea circus, see?

Keep that box closed!

Here.

Now keep it closed.

Haven't I got enough trouble?

Come on, Ethel.

Come on, Ethel.

Come on, Ethel!

Aah!

Ah!

Oh, maybe she likes you better than she does me.

Go see what you can do with her.

Aah!

Get some rope, and we'll tie him up.

Aah!

Get back in there!

Go on, get in there!

Get, get, get back in!

Go on, get in there!

Stan!

Get in there!

Oh, no!

Stan!

Oh, Stan!

Stan! Get...

What'd you get in there for?

None of your business, get me out of here!

Get him in there!

Get him in there and nail it up.

Now nail it up.

Nail it up quick so he won't get out, now.

Oh, the lion, the lion!

Get... oh!

Let's get out!

Oh, come on!

I guess we'd better get a room.

How are we gonna pay for that?

We haven't got a dime.

Well, that's simple.

Why, tomorrow, we'll, uh...

Tomorrow, we'll sell Ethel, then you

and me will be on easy street.

Oh, alright, let's get a room with twin beds.

Why twin beds?

One for me.

Well, I can't sleep with the monkey.

Oh, she won't mind.

You don't mind sleeping with Ollie, do ya?

No, she doesn't.

Come on, Ethel.

Twin beds.

What's the matter, Joe?

You're a bundle of nerves.

Oh, it's that rattle-brained wife of mine.

She's at it again!

What is she up to now?
