Jungle Yeller Gifts

"Fortissimo! Breath control! Diaphragm! Again!"

Tarzan of the Grapes.

'Some of these trees have been here for 2000 years... and they still can't talk. Man, we're awesome!'

'I'm telling you Fred, this can of silver paint is going to improve your love-life!...'

'Ready Mum?'

Snowman of the Apes

Elephants never scared me. I once chased three of them into the river/I was able - before I lost my teeth - to bite a crocodile's tail right off / I'll never forget the time I roared so loud, twenty or maybe thirty monkeys fell right out of the tree.

Office Park

'Apparently it's part of the evolutionary process!'

"Influence this."

'Can I have a Banana-Split' without the ice-cream?'

Crow and fox

"You never laugh at my jokes... "

"Yes, in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight, but he snores!"

'Fancy a swift half?'

"Blame the scientists who are teaching me sign-language Mum: It's not my fault if it's easier to learn the rude signs..."

'Hey, Fred! You have a relative visiting.'

'Oh, we tried a nurturing corporate culture, but we found the law-of-the-jungle mentality is what keeps our competitive edge..'

'My Dad will like you. He's the care-taker at the monkey house in the zoo.'

'So much for the 'Eye of the Tiger'.'

'And before we start, Higgins, I'd like to remind you that this is not a laughing matter.'

'Day 57. The tigers appear to be adjusting to my presence.'

"Well it looks like we're all here."

'I thought your new year's resolution was to get the monkey off your back!'

'I heard it through the grapevine.'

Monkey Business

'Okay, but I'm going to hate myself in the morning.'

"Frankly, I don't really want him to improve: he scares the predators away..."

"Oh, my husband is a great provider: his hunting success rate is close to 30%..."

Way too much anthropomorphising

'Ooga says we're descended from people!'

"It must be still charging."

'Tusking...one...two...three. Tusking one...two...three...'

'The reports were right...he's using tools!'

'The mysteries of hyena laughter deciphered.'
