      Sea World, you have whales that literally swim from ocean to ocean.
      Then you have the other sea animals that may stay in the same ocean but still swim hundreds of miles.
      I feel the same about Sea World as I do about people keep birds, butterflies, other things that fly or move around.
      Having most of these pets are basically imprisoning them in cages or indoors.

      Right then. 22 years with the same company. NAFTA passed. Replaced by communist slave labor. Not quite as humiliating as being replaced by a baboon. But pretty close. Then had to go back to school. To become a nurse. Every mans dream. 16 years of that and the government now wants to shove a stick up my nose every 2 weeks. Retired/quit. You wouldn’t do that to an animal. Doubt my head will be in a museum. I think we have a bunch of drunken baboons running our governments.

    This story is also about a baboon. The ownwer had lived in the ohrighstad district, near Lydenburg, transvaal in south-Africa . This story happens as I can recall during 1940 or 1950's (sorry if I'm wrong). He also had a baboon taking care of his herd of sheep . The baboon pitched every morning to pickup his "skarftin" (a food parcell) , a plate consisting of bread or "pap"(porridge) and milk. The baboon would eat his food at his spot on the stoop. He then will go back to "kraal" where the sheep is kept and he had a crate in a tree where he slept. He will then take the sheep out and bring them back later in the afternoon.The owner never lost a sheep during the baboon's time. It was a completely different story years later after a leopard had killed the baboon ( or so suspected as the baboon never returned) and a native black was appointed to the job.
    Also a story about this same baboon went , that every new-year the people of the area wiil get together at the echo-caves for the new-year's dance. The baboon wil then sneak up and steal the people's drinks, as they went for a dance( for it was held on his owners farm at the caves) The next morning he(the baboon) would have a terrible "babbelas "(hangover) and would not show up for "work". Finally the youngsters (young men of the area), knowing of the baboons action during festivities, lured this baboon with peanuts and "dop" (drinks) during the morning before the festivities. When the baboon was well "soaked up", they put him on a donkey and chase the donkey away . The donkey would return the next day with the babelas - baboon still on his back to great cheering of the people still there. Some waited just for his return. Hope u enjoyed this true story. It wat told to me by both my parents have a nice day..

    Being a South African, I really love the attention to detail in this video. The currency & denomination were spot on. Although back then the 20c coin was rather larger and silver. But you wouldn't know that, and neither would I, if I didn't collect old coins and notes. So the current generation would actually easily identify (And 20c a day would have made him a very rich! Well considering he's a baboon. I've heard stories of my great grandfather earning just 2 rands a week, although he was one of the indentured labourers brought from India to work the canefields in Durban) The Brandy and beer images were also so very accurate. And you even managed to tell me a story that I myself, and many other South Africans, I'm sure, had no idea about. Very Well Done!

    Signals might tell you to slow, stop or go but they can't tell a train driver to go left, right or choose a siding; they only tell which one you are routed to since trains don't have steering wheels.
