What do you do with a gorilla with the hiccups?
I was cleaning out the lemur cage on Wednesday morning when my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number but answered anyways. The man asked "is Michelle there?" I said "this is Michelle." He said "I have a question, what do you do for a gorilla who has the hiccups?" Not gonna lie, that kinda freaked me out. So I hung up on his crazy ass. Crazy man called back 4 times and every time I ignored it. Finally I got done with my outside stuff and came in the hospital to do a reverse phone number look up on my computer. While I was doing that I told Dr. L what happened. He said that for a gorilla with hiccups you should scare him. Like it was so obvious! Not helping! I was a little freaked out because crazy man knew my name, phone number and what I did. Creepy. About that time the hospital phone rang and it was the main office. The girls were laughing. Lisa said, "Hey! Gnarley Charley says he needs to talk to you. You won something and you won't answer your phone. He called the main zoo line and I need to transfer the call to you." "I DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO HIM! I DO NOT WANT TO BE ON THE RADIO!" "Well he says he needs to talk to you so answer the phone." I turn to Dr. L who is finding this to all be very amusing. "Dr. Lewis! Please talk to him! I don't want to be on the radio!" "No I can't do that." He laughs. "What did the girls in the office do to me? Why would they call a radio station and pick on me?! I thought we were friends! I am NEVER speaking to them again! I could kill them!" Now I get a text message from a number I do not know. It reads: "Hey Michelle It's Gnarley Charley from kiss country...sorry about the gorilla comment I was just trying to be funny...can you call me back?" I do and it turns out I won the Panera Bread coffee break! I had entered the contest awhile ago and actually won! He said that he and Jody Jo would be stopping by around 9:45am to bring bagels and coffee. YAY! I tell Dr. L and tell him to come with me. That's a NO. He tells me to go find Jody. She'll go with me. So that's what I do. At 9:45 we go to the main office for my prize. When they show up the whole office staff disappears! "If you are not in my picture you do NOT get a bagel!" Mayra was the only one office staffer to get a bagel and coffee. We took a picture with the radio people who were all super nice and I even shared with Shawn and Robbie even though they also ran and hid from the picture. Punks! We took the rest of the stuff to the hay barn to share with Sal who would have joined us but someone had to stay behind and work. Some people were a little squishy faced about not being included in my winnings. But what can I say? It was my prize. LOL
