LOl..found out how chimp spends his time nowadays... [View all]

Someone I know works for AFLAC (you know...that duck commmerical insurance)..and at their conference in Las Vegas last week guess who their guest speaker was...chimp!
He had a sit down with the prez of AFLAC in front of an audience. He talked about his post-prez days, how he misses being pampered, not having people waiting on him hand and foot (gasp..he has to WALK HIS DOG and do dishes).

The audience was forbidden from taking any pictures during the hour long sit down.

Apparently, the company owner has some connection to chimp and pickles because at their conference LAST year, pickles was the guest.

So this is how far he has fallen..from being Prez to insurance conferences. During an election year when you would THINK that his time would be filled going around stumping for the current repuke candidate!
