Details about all three of the films that George appeared in ma be reviewed at www.erbzine.com
The drabble for today, “Anywhere He Wants, was inspired by George’s many movie roles while wearing his gorilla suit.
Johnny Weissmuller said, “George, why are you wearing a gorilla suit?”
“If you saw me in a loincloth like you’re wearing, you wouldn’t have to ask.”
“George, doesn’t that outfit put the girls off?”
“Some. Not everyone likes everything. Not everyone likes the same thing, but everyone likes something.”
“That’s little deep for me, George.”
“Some girls like guys like you. Some me like guys like me. Variety is the spice of life.”
“Does that monkey suit help you get dates?”
“It does and it’s very effective when applying for a bank loan. It’s hard to tell a gorilla no.”
