Twelve well-behaved Gorillas and a waiter made their presence felt at the Globe Tavern’s ‘Banana Bar’ on Thurs­ day night (19 March).

Gorilla leader, who would be known only as ‘Gerald’, declared that, ‘It’s about time that the oppressed masses of Gorillas raised our primate heads against oppression. We of the Auckland Evolutionary Army, which is a sub-group of the Auckland Revolutionary Army, are in this bar because we feel it is long overdue that Gorillas take their rightful place in the Stock Exchange.
