Gorilla in the midst 


A gorilla escaped from a Boston zoo Sunday:

The gorilla, known as Little Joe, escaped Sunday night and roamed through the Franklin Park Zoo and along nearby streets in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood for nearly two hours before it was sedated with tranquilizer darts, according to Zoo New England chief executive and president John Linehan.
A reader of Mark Kleiman's comments:

A reader reports spotting an AP story about a gorilla who escaped from a Boston zoo and was spotted two hours later sitting on the bench at a bus stop. He offers three interpretations:

1. Public transportation is getting worse and worse. Two hours and no bus.
2. The gorilla's escape plan was thwarted by not having exact change.
3. He missed the bus because he was mugged.
