Earlier this year I told the story of a simian named Koko, her lust for boobies and the lawsuit that emerged from this tangled affair. Well, thankfully this whole sordid situation has been resolved. First, you may review the original tale at the following address:

It appears that two female employees at a California Gorilla Foundation claimed they had been requested to bare their breasts for the viewing pleasure of this gorilla named Koko. Koko, it seems, makes some sort of hand gesture when she wants to see naked breasts. I don’t know if this is the traditional gesture of cupping one's hands, holding them in front of one's own chest, palms toward the body and moving the hands with a slight up-and-down motion, or if the monkey just snapped her fingers or something like that. However the simian communicates this desire, the employees claim they were requested to display their racks, and refused. The story I read claims the women went to OSHA, which sent someone out to the ape farm and found some violations. The women claim they were terminated because of their actions.
Today I read that the women had reached a settlement with the monkey foundation, so, it appears on the surface that we can put this one to bed. There is still one nagging question in my mind, however. There is some monkey out there that seems to have a thing for boobs and I am concerned that she will try this same thing again. My resolution is that the ape foundation gets a subscription to Playboy magazine for this monkey. I haven’t seen Playboy for a while, but I assume they still depict boobies. Perhaps the ape will enjoy reading the fine articles they have in there, too.
At least, that’s what we think here in Jimbo’s world.
