Chimpanzees going through a midlife crisis? It sounds like a setup for a joke.
But there it is, in the title of a report published Monday in a scientific journal: “Evidence for a midlife crisis in great apes.”

After all, it’s HIS midlife crisis. But Hubby’s never needing those cars. No, he’s only screaming about “Let me out!! Save me! She’s trying to kill me!” Silly things like that.

Wait I think I just insulted Apes
Oh, you DEFINITELY did. In fact, single-celled organisms would get their dander up.
I know of a good way to describe politicians that doesn’t insult mother nature at all, neither does it insult her creatures:
