Lovely.

As the agate clerk for the Rwanda News Herald, aren't you used to those calls?

Heh. It's behind an elementary school here. I wonder if they're getting punk'd, but folks are all a-twitter. Slow news day, I reckon.

I can imagine how the local news editor at my old paper would handle this.

"There's a report of a gorilla running around an elementary school. Get out there and see what you can find. Oh and take the digitial."

I once handled a news call about a deer in the city swimming pool.

Yep.

"When contacted, an official with the Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo said they do not have a gorilla or any other large primate matching that description. "

I don't know why, but that part of the story cracked me up.

I can imagine that conversation:

Zoo: Well what did he look like?
Cops: Well, he was hairy and dragged his knuckles.
