    Another great PSA from Jamie Chimpanzee!
    One little clip/shot that you forgot in the montage was somebody getting poo sprayed on their birthday. Was it Anna?

    Hurray! Hurrah! After seven-and-a-half years, “Ask Jamie” returns. As always, the resident expert’s answers are concise and to the point. Well, worth the wait, albeit I hope that none of us has to wait for another 78 months for the next installment.

    You know you run the risk of some crazy person saying hey I’d give it a try. But, I think Jamie has given the clearest visual explanation of the answer NO WAY, get outta here, while those eyes say it all.

    Finally, a new installment of Ask Jamie! You can’t say the Boss doesn’t give clear answers!

    Jamie Sez :
    Do chimpanzees make good pets? NO!!
    Can I hold a chimpanzee? NO!!
    Check and check. Message received.

    Does Jamie have her own YouTube channel? Or perhaps a podcast? I’d sign up for both. Love the way she doesn’t mince words. Jamie is honest, direct, and expressive. We need more of this!
