Books Had He Lived, the Author Would Have Thrown His Own Shit and Masturbated to Celebrate

A book written by a chimp has been longlisted for the Guardian first book award.
Me Cheeta: the Autobiography, is billed as the true story of Cheeta the Chimp, star of Hollywood blockbusters, told “in his own words”. The book documents the life and times of a chimpanzee who has outlived all his co-stars from the 1939 film Tarzan to reach the ripe old age of 75. He withdrew from the limelight in 1964 after biting his Doctor Dolittle co-star Rex Harrison, and has retired to an old chimps’ home in Palm Springs, California.The book is not published until October 1, but judges for the award, now in its 10th year, were so startled by the early version they were sent that they included it on the 10-strong longlist, revealed today.
It was the best of books, it was the blurst of books.
Why you wanna be killing Cheeta off? That monkey is still alive.
The book was actually ghost-written by an Orangutan.
What would they have paid his royalties in, bananas?
God damn, that's a funny headline! Well done Mr. Constant.
Hey, I bit Rex Harrison! Where's my book deal?
