On The Road Again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road againWillie Nelson, On The Road Again)
Well, we here at Blue Crab Boulevard suggest that Oliver "Capuchin" Monkey be given a new nickname. Houdini. He has picked the lock to his cage and gone on the lam for the second time in two weeks. And this time he broke out another prisoner as well.
TUPELO – Next time the zoo manager will put titanium locks on Oliver's cage.
That is, if there is a next time.
Oliver, the white-faced capuchin whose flight to freedom made international headlines a couple of weeks ago, escaped again Monday from the Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo.
Park manager Kirk Nemecheck and other employees noticed the monkey cage open and the lock on the ground about 8:30 a.m.
They spotted Oliver and another capuchin named Baby wandering nearby. Workers easily nabbed Baby, but Oliver fled the park and headed for the Tupelo Country Club, Nemecheck said.
Emily Le Coz, the reporter for this story, reports that Oliver has been known to visit the country club on previous occasions. Golfers there are strongly urged not to get suckered into a skins game with Oliver. First of all, monkeys are notorious cheaters on the links. Secondly monkeys play for real skins.
