Through the haze I suddenly realized I was hallucinating. Someone had poisoned me!

I looked out the window and saw the large hairy shadow again. This time there was no mistaking the harsh quality of his eerie laughter!

'What is happening', I thought, 'am I hallucinating, is that really an ape out there, and me indoors with a lady client eating pheasant'?
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something; but then felt a sharp pain on the side of my head. |

Sometime later, who knows how much later, I opened my eyes and found myself on a silk-sheeted bed wearing blue flannel jammies with kitties on them. My head was jumping and throbbing like I had a juke joint going full tilt behind my eyes.

I shook my head to clear out the rumba music playing in the background. Looking around, I was surprised by my surroundings.

Since when had my bed have 4-posts? Since when had there been pink wallpaper on my walls and black sheets on my bed ?

This room looked more like a bad bordello scene in a Pee Wee Herman movie than anything else. Rising slowly to a sitting position I noticed something peculiar in the corner of the room.

The apparently dead body of the ape was slumped in a pool of blood and custard. The only clue was the signed room service receipt for dessert and a bottle of bubbly.

I tentatively tasted the custard. It was still warm.

The bottle of bubbly was still corked. There was no sign of the dame....

I finished the custard and champagne, a mistake I won't make again. Burping up custard, I stooped to examine the body.

But then the body twitched. I staggered back, slightly the worse for wear after the champagne and custard.

I hoped the twitching indicated he was still alive. One because I was having a hard time imagining how I was going to remove the dead body of an 800 pound primate without a lot questions being asked, and even more importantly, he'd not yet paid my fee for the day

After first locating and removing his wallet, I began slapping the ape to wake him up. He suddenly lunged at me, as his fetid banana laden breath washed over my face.

I chuckled to myself as the ape missed me completely and fell flat on his face. I chuckled a second time when I realized "slapping the ape" could have more than one meaning.
