REGINA, Canada - Canadian police have to lay down the law
when it comes to any monkey business on the streets. So,
when they saw a gorilla strolling down the street on rol-
lerblades, naturally they had to fine the perpetrator. The
teenager inside the monkey suit was only doing his job for
his employer, Hillybilly Vac Shack, working as the store's
cavorting gorilla mascot. Still, authorities felt it nece-
ssary to slap a $130 fine on him for "stunting," defined as
an activity likely to distract or startle drivers. Most
people would go ape if they got fined at work.
