Big news out of San Antonio yesterday, as apparently a baboon ran wild and free through the International Airport. For more on this story, let’s kick it over to you, CNN!
A baboon that was being transported escaped its cage Monday afternoon and ran loose in San Antonio International Airport, officials said.
An airport spokesman said the baboon was cornered in the baggage handling area of Terminal B.American Airlines released a statement, saying the baboon was being taken to an animal sanctuary and refuge in the San Antonio area.“We are working closely with the San Antonio Aviation Department and officials from the San Antonio Zoo. Officials from the zoo are now on-site to ensure his safety and well-being as he continues his journey to his new home at the primate sanctuary,” the statement read.
Wow – wild news. Also, gotta say I’m always amazed when this sort of stuff ends up on CNN or BBC. I don’t know why I get such a kick out of it, but it’s these serious, hardened, professional journalists reporting on a wild baboon running through an airport that just tickles me.
Anyway, am I the only one that was secretly rooting for this baboon?
Obviously, you don’t want to see anyone hurt, but you just hope this baboon was able to have a little bit of fun. Rummage through someone’s baggage, throw some panties in the air and embarrass some poor lady, wear a gentleman’s spectacles…you know, classic baboon stuff. The sorts of things you pay to see in a comedy circus. At the very least, I hope he was able to rip a banana from the snack stand.
I wonder how out of control this could have possibly gotten, though. Sure, this thing could have attacked a human and ripped its face off, and that’s certainly nothing to joke about. But, for the sake of our shitty comedy blog, let’s explore a little bit.
Could this baboon have boarded another plane? What if they didn’t get to him in time and he snuck onto a plain to Cancun or something? Spring Break Baboon sounds like an awesome movie that’s just waiting for the guys at Broken Lizard to write. What if he threw poop on someone like that granny that took a chunk to the nose last year?
So many possibilities. Thank you for joining me here today.
