Right place, right time.

Years ago when I was a nipper, I went on a summer project trip to the zoo.

While there a few of the young lads (myself included) tried to get the chimps all riled up by doing monkey guestures and teasing them with food. It work and they went mental shouting,roaring, swinging off stuff, climbing up stuff really fast. You know general píssed off chimp stuff. Until one chimp pooed in to his hand and flung it at us, it hit the glass with an almighty this. All the chimps seen him do this and decided to follow suit, there was about 6 or 7 of them at it lobbing poo at us. Some hitting the glass wall and some clearing it and landing in the green space behind us.

I turned to face the green space only to see a middle aged man cop a load of chimp poo right to the side of the head. He stood there for a second dazed and when he had realized what had happened the look of shock/terror in his face was unreal. I fell about the place laughing at this, I was still laughing about it 2 weeks later and still have a chuckle about it now.

It was a case for myself anyway of bring in the right place at the right time, do any you lads/gals have a story of you being in the right place at the right time?

Sounds like one of those essays teachers would make you do for the first class in September - "What I did on my summer holidays".

I logged into After Hours once (2009 I think it was) and there was a funny thread in AH.

Good times.

I never did get further than a primary school education.

I turned on RTE News a couple of years ago at the precise time they were airing that legendary footage of the guy slipping on the ice.

I have yet to see more an entertaining piece on RTE since

I was once walking down a quiet street in Amsterdam and decided to pop into this fruit shop to buy some apples and oranges and who should only be standing there ( with his minder ) but Ringo Starr, whom I got to chat to for a few minutes ...a case of right ,place right time .

Our familys first visit to the zoo consisted of watching monkey fellatio. Three kids asking their mam whats the monkey doing led to a swift move along there now.
