    Funny Tyson quote

    Has anyone heard this before? I just got it in a magazine, don't know how true it is, but it's in a list of Tyson quotes, this one about him going to the zoo:


    "When we got to the gorilla cage, there was one big silverback gorilla there bullying the others. They were so powerful, but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let me smash that silverback's snotbox. He declined."


    I think it's the use of the word "snotbox" that makes it. If he'd said "nose" then the comedy wouldn't be there. But you can just visualise the scene, can't you?

          That gorilla woulda ****ed Tyson up worse than Douglas, Holy, Lennox, Williams and McBride combined. Wish the zoo keeper would have opened the gate so we'd be rid of that scumbag for good.

            ...**** yeah, I said the same thing in another thread. A gorilla is like 10 times the strength of a man and would have separated all of his limbs from his body before it took a dump on him. Tyson was just pissed that something was stealing his thunder by slapping around the bitches.

                  Gene Tunney once wrote an article about how he could knock out a gorilla. My favorite part is where he proclaims that a gorilla can't take a bodyshot because they don't do calisthenics.


                  Edit:

                  "Gargantua is a big boy but a Dempsey left hook landing on his stomach might figuratively tear the poor animal in two and leave him paralyzed on the canvas or jungle. He didn't spend years of doing bending and mat exercises."

                  Here's the article...
