I suspect one of the members on this board (name of a character in Deuce Bigalow) goes through this routine every day when he gets out of bed.
The Big Aristotle went eyeball to eyeball with a Mountain gorilla. The Silverback was surprised that humans were as big as himself.
Mountain gorillas are actually the gentlest of the great apes, but the Silverback as capo is territorial. The human tourists are taking the right approach.
I'd be bringing the big guy a banana.
They come with cameras, but they dont bring any bananas. WTF???!!
Hit him some more!!!!!
He was a dangerous alpha-male looking to take over the whole tribe.

Insidious Von's clip happened to me in Rwanda. Our guide Francois had know the male Silverback for 12 years but he infringed on his territory for just a second and as fast as a lightning flash the male was holding Francois down with one hand. Francois kept still but his laughter worked and soon he was released. The mountain gorillas are the sweetest and most humane animals I've ever met but they aren't pushovers.
A Silverback has ten times the strength of a Big Aristotle.
The Orangutan is the most intelligent of the great apes but could go extinct by 2050, their habitat is being destroyed for palm oil production.
