Lemurs are from Madagascar. Giraffes are from Africa. I hope their papers are in order. ICE might try to deport them. flashman13 Sep 2025 #9

It almost looks like the white spy in Mad Magazine's Spy vs. Spy cartoons.

And someone tried to bring their support possum in with them. Had to tell them to put it in their car and come back.

This was a day after someone brought in their pet monkey who got away and climbed a lady's leg. Didn't hurt her, but startled her pretty good. I didn't see it as I was working the help desk. She walked up and said "that monkey just ran up my leg". Thought she'd lost her mind

Possums are made in the good old USA. They should be good.



Cool videos.
