CLEVELAND, OH Russell North and Alex Beckett of the Northland Insurance Group
were recently shocked to discover that one of the top members of their claims department
is actually a monkey. Bobo the monkey has been working for Northland since July, and no
one noticed that he wasn’t like everyone else until late last week.
No one in the company is quite sure of Bobo’s exact job description. They only know that
he holds an upper-level management position—and that the company’s employee and customer
satisfaction levels have both skyrocketed since his arrival.
Employee
Stanley Evans never realized that he was working for a monkey. “Whenever I requested
anything, he just threw a fit. He shrieked a lot, and he threw things at me. I figured
that was pretty normal. And whenever we were chatting, I always figured he was just
trying to be funny by making those cute monkey sounds. I thought it was weird that his
name was just Bobo, but I guess I figured his name was really Bob. I like Bobo. He’s a
crazy guy—he’s the greatest boss I’ve ever had.”
When asked when he first
realized that Bobo was a monkey, Beckett, a Northland agent, explained, “He came up
behind me, climbed on my shoulders, and started picking at my head.” That’s when Beckett
brought the issue up to North, who had reported that the bananas from his lunch had been
missing for several days.
Beckett and North began to put the pieces
together when they brought Bobo to their Tuesday night bowling league, and he bowled with
his feet.
Reporters asked Bobo’s supervisor, Sharon Clay, how she was
planning on handling the situation, and she refused to give a straight answer. She
merely replied, “We’re not sure yet. He seems to be doing a great job. I mean, we
haven’t had any complaints. In fact, he could very well be the best Claims Supervisor
we’ve ever had.”
