You bore me.
that’s what she said?
…to Steve.
in bed…
… when they were under the covers looking at her glow in the dark watch!
WIN x)
I wonder how true it is.
0% true in my family (I already know where babies come from tho)
“They’re making a sand castle!” My husband loudly proclaimed as the orangutans bonked dirty. That got all the kids in the vicinity going, “hey look mom! they are building a sand castle, that guy said so!” More small children swarm over to watch the orangutans making “a sandcastle” while several parents were trying not to giggle.
Quite possibly the weirdest trip to the zoo EVER.
I would have paid money to be there.
The sandcastle inscident has turned into an inside joke, you can say “we’re going to go home and build a sandcastle,” with out the in-laws having any clue.
“Wana go get drinks after the movie?”
“Nah, I’d rather go build a sandcastle.”
Explanation^
Wait a minute… I was told the male was trying to jump over the female and got stuck!
When I was 4.
Later, I learned he WANTED to “get stuck”!
I think SHE wanted to get stuck. *brainbleach*
As someone who worked at a zoo for five years… YES. Although more often it’s “they’re playing” rather than bitching, but I have gotten that. When people come to the zoo, most of the time they leave their brains at the gate.
Most people do that when they go anywhere.
The point of the graph; you have found it. Let me buy you some ice cream now.
LOL.
“Cover their eyes” should be here somewhere.
that’s what i was expecting when i read the title of the graph.
I used to work at the zoo, too — yes, this is true. My other favorite was when they would complain, at 2:00 on a muggy July day, that the animals weren’t doing anything, and that I should somehow make them be more active. Perhaps I should get in there and poke the lions with a stick?
No, give the stick to the bitching person and tell them to go play fetch. Great interactive game, and your kid will never forget it! or just tell them that when you’re watching them at home, they don’t seem to be doing much either.
ROFFLE
I think it’d be nice if they suck one of those little dic dic deers or a couple rabits in the big cats cages from time to time. The kittys would love it and they’d definatly “do some thing” even on a humid day!
“suck one of those little dic”…
>.>
Emily, do I know you?
I work at a pet store and when the animals are mating there I get bitched out all the time.
…and yet these are the same people who use the interwebs solely for porn, you just know it.
Oh yeah, especially the ones who act holier than thou.
What? I go to the pet store for that…
I’m sure you do.
When they say the animals are mating, turn and ask them, “Oh, is the webcam pointing the wrong direction again? Gee Thanks.I’ll go fix it.”
Then head for the back room so they’ll be left wondering!
What would be really funny if you included “Fap” as one of the things to do about seeing animals mating. o_O
OMFG! In front of your kids? You’re one sick f**k!
Or else from Northern Idaho …
I lol’d.

Thank you for your patience, and you may now resume your regularly scheduled programming.

Very well done sir/ma’am
They left out the slice for the creepy dad who makes a dirty joke and starts zooming in with the video camera.
you know…as wrong as this seems, it is WAAAY too common, and yet the human female still mates with him at home.
Purely biological impulse.
Not me. We were in the Mirage in LV. Lion sitting on glass right above a hallway you could walk through. Pointed to lion and told 7 yr old son… “Look! It’s a BOY lion!” All the people around me erupted into laughter.
You could tell it was a boy from looking at the bottom of teh kitteh’s feet?
just like my dog. too much to c thar.
No, I won’t admit it. If I was locked in a cage all day with a female, I most certainly would not f**k her senseless.
O_O
because she probably already is senseless lol
You forgot the slice for inventing a pill that makes them numb from the waist down and kills their sexual drive.
Nah I use a mirror for that.
KURT VONNEGUT JR. FTW!!!!!!!!!!
I was told they were playing “King of the Mountain,” whatever that means.
I followed it up with “Why are they making that noise? Is the one on the bottom hurting?”
While my parents tried desperately not to giggle…
Why don’t people who post these bloody charts check a dictionary or grammar handbook BEFORE posting?
explaination = FAIL
explanation = win
…ok, I just want to check this before I assumed. Is that little dash of hypocrisy there intentional, for the sake of irony, or did you just plain not notice?
What hypocracy?
I was mainly referring to your use of “fail” as a noun – while “win” is acceptable as such, “fail” is and always has been a verb. The actual noun form is “failure”. Thus, you calling someone else out on “not checking a dictionary or grammar handbook before posting” is hypocritical at best.
Also, ironically enough, you also misspelt “hypocrisy”… even though the word was right there, in my own comment. You didn’t even need to “check a dictionary”, you just needed to swivel your eyes upwards a meager few degrees.
Ummm … sense of humor fail(ure), Anomaly?
No. I just don’t think you should whine about other people and their lack of proper spelling and grammar if you’ve abandoned it yourself. The moment you start ignoring rules, unless it’s willfully or ironically, you lose all right to complain.
FYI — You were replying to a different person who deliberately misspelled “hypocrisy” to drive home your point.
Or that’s how I took it.
Nesting fail. D’oh!
Whining about how FAIL is not a noun? Are you new to the internets or something?
I once went to a zoo where, on a quick glance onto Baboon Island, the alpha male was beating off. There were a group of boy scouts ahead of me and they were laughing so much, it was probably the funniest part of the day out for them.
I always explained to my kids honestly what was happening, in an age-appropriate way (which sounds very boring, and not at all funny, sorry). At least when they overheard other parents explaining the old “leapfrog” story or whatever to their kids of a similar age, my two would laugh about it later; they loved hearing the parents’ excuses.
Lol.
Add a slice for kids whose mums are science teachers and got the full explanation, each step of the process -sigh-
I learned from a young age, never ask a question wwhen you might regret the answer to it.
You forgot the perverts.
Daddy, what are the lions doing?
I’ll show you, honey.
Reminds me of a time at the zoo. I was at the kangaroo exhibit and there was a group of kids. Suddenly one pointed out that they could see the baby’s foot. When I looked, I realized that the particular kangaroo wasn’t a female with a joey…
eew! just like the dogs!!! hahaha
I work at a zoo.,.. we see it everyday its kinda funny cause there’s really nothing we can do
Ha ha ha! I remember when I was little we went to visit my Aunt and younger cousins in San Diego, and went to the zoo. The zebras were getting frisky. My uncle did the “playing” explanation. I, being a child who was forbidden from watching anything other than educational shows, immediately corrected him, and proceeded to wax eloquent on the mating habits of zebras.
We were never invited along on another zoo trip.
You forgot to add the slice, “Stare & laugh as if you were high.” Just saying…
I went to the zoo yesterday and monkeys were going at it on a hammock. My buddies yelled out “They’re either wrestling or playing.” I proceeded to yell out “There is no third option!” It got some laughs.
That is pretty funny. I would have giggled.
My parents told me they were on a date.
In retrospect, I think I should have been told something else…
I remember taking a Brownie troop to the zoo and the elephants were trying to … put it all together… I was fascinated and we watched for quite a while. I think I told them they they were trying to make babies.
r
My mother points it out to people
and then proceeds to laugh quite loudly….
and takes photo’s….
She’s rather insane lol
People are morons. Sad truth. Seriously, some people act like there are only a few morons in the world.
