Giraffes Mastermind Circus Breakout
2008-07-01
Ya can never trust them giraffes...
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Amsterdam police say 15 camels, two zebras and an undetermined number of llamas and potbellied swine briefly escaped from a traveling Dutch circus after a giraffe kicked a hole in their cage.
C'mon, pigs! Pick up the pace, dammit!
Lookit dis potbelly! I ain't in the shape I used ta be!
Police spokesman Arnout Aben says the animals wandered in a group through a nearby neighborhood for several hours after their 5:30 a.m. breakout.
Well...you're so friggin smart giraffes, now whadda we do?
The animals were back at the circus later Monday after being rounded up by police and circus workers with the assistance of dogs.
Should've let them in on the plan...
Aben says neighbors fed some of the animals — which he said was a bad idea — but they were tame and nobody was hurt. Says Aben: 'You have to imagine somebody rubbing his eyes first thing in the morning and saying, 'Am I seeing things or is that 15 camels walking past?''
In Amsterdam? Yes, I can...

#2  Well the buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot. And the baboons are going ape over this. Of course, the giraffes are acting like they're above it all... The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't. The cheetahs are hard up, but I always say, cheetahs never prosper...
