Killer Goriller
Killer showed promise at an early age when he became one of the first of the great apes to be introduced to American Sign Language. However, he never really got past the introduction and, soon after failing the admissions test to the prestigious Yerkes Primate Institute, "Killer" hit the road with the Brutal Bettleheim Traveling Circus.
Injured in an aerial mishap (which, ironically, also cut short the budding career of Clem "Sloth-Toe" Zurkowski) K. G. went on to a brief but colorful career in the now-outlawed "Endangered Animals World Wrestling Federation". He flirted with Fame once more, but Fate stepped in when his manager and confidante, "The Yellow Peril", made off with all his hard-earned winnings. (There is bad blood between the two one-time best buddies to this day!)
Currently a resident of Tarpon Springs, Florida, our "goriller" spends the autumn of his years rolling banana peels into tiny fecund balls and flicking them expertly into the soda cups of vacationing German tourists. Perhaps as a result of his early introduction to alternate means of communication, K. G. can distinguish between Rhinelanders and Berliners (he pelts them both with banana balls, regardless of their dialect).
