Shaquille O’Neal cops gobful of chimpanzee cheek
Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal may have fancy footwork on the court, but he wasn’t quick enough to dodge a monkey when it threw up on him during a family trip to the zoo.
The sporting ace said the chimp took him by surprise while he was visiting Los Angeles Zoo with his children.
“The lady told me these monkeys are very tricky – they’ll offer you stuff and don’t mess with them,” he told chat show host Jimmy Kimmel.
“But it was like a small monkey so I figured if it grabbed me, I could just smack it off.
“It was making this funny face and I went to reach for it, and someone said, ‘No, don’t, he has water in his mouth!’
“I said, ‘No, he’s just giving me an apple,’ but then he spat and it all landed on my shoulder. That night I was in the bathroom getting ready to take a shower and I thought, ‘Damn, I stink today!’
“Then I realised I’d had monkey vomit on my arm all day.”
