Today, I want to talk about the lady without a face. You saw her on Oprah. She was an employee for this imbecile who owned a chimpanzee. Well, the lady never felt comfortable around this thing, even when it was a baby it just seemed aggressive. The owner asked her if she would help get the chimpanzee back into its cage one night and against her better judgement she agreed. The chimpanzee attacked the woman, ripping off both her hands, removing her eyes and lips and pretty much leaving her for dead. Except she didn’t die. She managed, because of the “amazing doctors”, to survive and is walking around with one finger, blind, with no nose, lips or eyelids. Thank you “amazing doctors”.
The woman doesn’t want to know about anything. Not what her face looks like, or what things are missing from her. She only found out she didn’t have eyes, cause she went to the doctor and asked him how long she would remain without sight and at that time he informed her ALWAYS…YOU DIDN’T HAVE ANY EYEBALLS!
Ok, I’m being this graphic cause what really amazed me about this incident, is that the woman is suing her former boss and the state where this took place. I guess early on in the chimpanzee’s life someone from the state came out and told the owner that she really shouldn’t have this beast, cause he seemed dangerous. Rather than take the animal and put it down right there, they left. Seems like she has a case there, right?
But, the former owner (the chimpanzee was eventually killed after this episode) and her lawyer say “Sounds like a workmen’s comp issue”. WHAT!!!! I seriously doubt this woman is working at Julie’s House of Apes and that she has taxes taken out of her check. She probably works there for cash or as an independent contractor. Workman’s comp probably doesn’t even cover her. That aside, how could this woman not want to give her friend everything she has ever owned and will ever own. Isn’t she consumed with guilt? She has a face. She doesn’t have to walk around wearing a bee keeper’s hat, for the rest of her life. She won’t be the subject of horrible mean spirited children who will certainly laugh, point and run from her….did I mention, FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! What is she thinking?
And how could a lawyer take that gig. When the woman showed up to say she was being sued and why, how could a normal, feeling person not say, “Wow, lady. Maybe you should give her one of your hands and an eye and although it still wouldn’t be even, you would be giving something of yourself to this helpless woman.” But no…he says (I’m paraphrasing here) I can win this! This *##*! Doesn’t know what she is up against and is probably trying to bilk the government out of a disability check! He is even worse than the owners. He has nothing to lose. He could have turned this case down.
I could go on for days. But, the soap box is getting wet with all of my vitriol and spit.
I think about a woman like this and I thank my lucky stars I have the simple problems I have. Ok, sure it would be nice to have more money, be 5 pounds lighter, and be 5 years younger…but, who am I complaining to? Not a friend with no hands, eyes or nose! Shame on me if I was!
