Bosses at one of England’s top zoos had to evacuate an area after they gave gorillas brussel sprouts for breakfast.
The traditional Christmas veg made the animals cause such a stink the monkey enclosure at Chessington Zoo had to be cleared of visitors.
Keeper Michael Riozzi said: “We’ve started feeding the gorillas Brussels because they are packed with vitamin C.
“Unfortunately, an embarrassing side effect is that it can cause bouts of flatulence in humans and animals alike.”
The stunned zookeeper added: “I don’t think any of us were prepared for a smell that strong.”
Jerusalem artichokes. They’re the worst. Closest I ever got to having to call 999 (911 to you) because of flatulence. I thought I was going to die. If anything in the house had caused a spark, I would have. I was a human hovercraft for twenty-four agonising hours, underwear flailing in the breeze like a torn flag. When… things… started to die down I slept with my duvet weighted down by the dog (who thought it all rather amusingand kind of interesting in an olfactory way) and my mobile phone in my hand, just in case of a relapse. Jerusalem artichokes – invention of some relgious person’s devil.
^roflmao the comment is funnier than the story itself.
i don’t know why farts make me laff so much. even reading stories about them are hilarious (nice one ian btw… lol).
this proves two theories of mine
1. sprouts are not meant to actually be eaten
2. english food sucks.
