Do I really have to do this all the time? I was hoping it would be more a weekly chore, preferably outsourced so as to increase the macro economy's GDP by providing employment opportunities.Ĭleaning up after myself - can't this wait for the weekly domestic help's intervention. Well maybe it is, but I am not to make such comparisons for fear of bodily harm.Ĭleaning the house - This it seems a daily chore. There is something fundamentally wrong about coming between a man and his sleep methinks.Ĭulinary delights - so it seems that my mother's cooking is not gourmet cuisine par excellence. Also sleeping till midday on weekends will compromise our "daylight" hours. Apparently something about having to eat dinner before 21H00PM. Its not kosher to have afternoon naps anymore. I am quite fond of sleeping - apparently that will be the first major adjustment I am now forced to make.

The chimpanzee had learnt that he was not supposed to smoke, he would try and hide the habit from his zookeepers.Ĭharlie is thought to have picked up the smoking habit when he worked in an American circus. Khedama said she did not know whether the ape's bad smoking habit contributed to his demise and that post mortem to determine the exact cause of death would take place soon, reports the Telegraph. She explained that although the zoo discouraged the practice, the ape obtained cigarettes from visitors who would throw lit cigarettes to him through his bars.

Qondile Khedama, a spokesman for Mangaung Zoo, said Charlie was only an 'occasional smoker', but had none the less become famous around the world for the habit.
ut the zoo announced that the ape had finally died, aged 52. The chimpanzee was famous for his habit, picked up from visitors to his South African zoo, of smoking lit cigarettes. 'Charlie the Smoking Chimp' who was addicted to smoking cigarettes has died from old age.
