Chimpanzee Learns to Gargle

Flu season is approaching, and in Japan that means people should start regularly gargling to keep their throats cleansed and free of scary germs and viruses. Since our ape friends supposedly need this protection too, on Saturday night’s episode of “Shimura Zoo,” Pan-kun the chimpanzee was taught how to gargle:
I’m sure many of you out there read the first few lines of this post and want to point out that the Japan’s obsession with gargling is really really stupid. Sure, gargling has never been proven to prevent viral infections, but did you watch the video clip? Can’t you see how Pan-kun thinks that gargling is really important? Just follow his example, and stop trying to use rationality and science use to prove stuff, mmkay?
