.....ROBBER HAULS OFF 200,000 QUARTERS
Police are looking for a robber who hauled off $54,000 -- in quarters.
The bandit broke into a Brinks Inc. armored car substation apparently
dropping through a skylight, and loaded the more than 200,000 coins into
a white van.
"That's what we think happened," police spokesman Ed Wynkoop said.
"It was definitely a very unusual caper."
.....TWA AND HOSTAGES
TWA announced that the passengers onboard the ill fated flight that
was highjacked will be credited the miles on their frequent flyer
accounts. <way to go TWA>
.....MASSAGE FOR EMPLOYEES
A California company offers to "deliver" 15-minute back rubs to needy
employees at their desks. The back rub is billed as a stress management
tool.
.....ZOO HOPES WALL WILL BAR GREAT APE ESCAPE ...story of the week
.. Michael Abrams
One wall wasn't enough, but now San Diego Zoo officials believe
another will keep Ken-Allen, the orangutan escape artist, from doing
his thing. In theory the wall will keep Ken-Allen out of a portion of
the moat believed to be the staging ground for two daring escapes
in the past two months.
The first time, June 13, a keeper discovered Ken-Allen strolling
around in the zoo's Homo sapiens section(the part where you and I stand)
After being returned a cinder block wall was build.
Ken-Allen sprung himself again on July 29 in an escapade that includes
a ugly rock throwing incident. It seems that our friend was observed
chucking stones at Otis, a male Sumatran orangutan. He was locked in his
underground sleeping quarters, where the plot thickens.
Surfacing Aug 13 he found a crowbar left behind by a worker. Ken-Allen
tossed it to his mate, Vicki, who applied it to glass panels at the
bottom of the exhibit.
The escape was foiled when the noise of cracking glass alerted
the security forces. It was time for a human counterintelligence
operation.
Zoo-keeper Fernando Covarrubias, disguised as a tourist in jeans,
T-shirt, and ( lets pause for a second here, were talking about some
dumb ape vs humans??? )tennis shoes, caught Ken-Allen in the act. He
watched the suspect wade into his moat, span his body between the two
walls, and inch his way up. He would have made it except for the wires
at the top. ZZZZAAAAPPPP.
Mindful of human limitations, zoo spokesman Jeff Jouett said, "We have
discovered his way out but once he realizes we've blocked that exit and
turns his wits to the rest of the enclosure, we may wind up chasing
him again."
.....HE STILL ENJOYS "GEEK STUFF"
It wasn't long ago that Harry Anderson, the judge on television's
"Night Court," worked the streets of San Francisco and hustled passers-
by with magic.
When asked to compare that with being on TV he said "Well, they
both beat putting on an orange vest and picking up stuff on the free-
way."
Anderson said he also gets a kick out of what he calls "the fix
stuff."
"I take a six-penny nail and pound it up my nostril with the heel
of my shoe. I can eat a live guinea pig. That went over well on
Saturday Night Live." (somehow I'm not surprised)bobn@bmcg.UUCP (Bob Nebert) (08/27/85)
> .....HE STILL ENJOYS "GEEK STUFF" > > Anderson said he also gets a kick out of what he calls "the fix > stuff." ^^^ > The Gazzette is sorry for the error in vol.5. The word *fix* should have been *geek*. Otherwise the story makes no damn sense, but then again... Sorry. I gotta take away the Ripple from the people in proofreading.
