So you had to really know where you were standing. And at that time, the older keepers would sometimes want to pleasantly beat up or set up the younger keepers. And here I was a brand new keeper, and Sinbad, the gorilla was the big guy in the building. So they set me up ’cause they knew that he would throw crap at people that he didn’t know that he was not used to seeing once he knew you didn’t care. You were familiar face, smell, presence. And so they told me, “Clean up behind the back.” There were gutters and you’d hose the used food and so forth. So I go, “Okay, fine.” As I’m cleaning the gutter and I’m moving towards Sinbad, and all the senior keepers, it’s lunchtime and they’re all there, they used to have meet to play gin rummy or whatever at lunchtime. And they’re all waiting ’cause they know that he’s gonna throw crap at me and hit me.
