The Ape Crusader

You Pay Peanuts, You Get, Er, Monkeys

Town hall staff in a Polish town have put a chimp on the payroll - as a tourism promotions inspector. The 17-year-old ape, called Bobby, is being paid about $140 a month in Radkow to plug a district called Table Mountains which has a cluster of outcrops known locally as Monkey Rock.

FOOTNOTE: Chimp off the old block.
