Quotes

• Mathnet Announcer: The ever present LAPD captured Janus Prokedsian at the zoo and he was found guilty of robbery and impersonating a gorilla. He was made to return all the money and produce he had stolen except for 20 pounds of bananas, which had gone bad. He was sentenced to an appropriate number of years away from society and real gorillas.
