Monkey Brain

I just read about Knut the German polar bear, and how he got smacked by his first encounter with another polar bear, a girl! According to the zookeeper, “It was as we expected it to be. Knut was very shy and the Munich bear was clearly the one wearing the dirndl.” Dirndl?! What the heck-a-dee-doodle is that? At first I thought it meant pants, as in “Well, we know who wears the dirndl in that family.” Silly Monkey Brain, sexism is so last season. Evidently, a Dirndl is a “maid’s dress.” I love it! You go girl (polar bear)!
