Guy Gives A Girl His Number, She Pranks Him Into Believing He Adopted A Chimp Named Bubbles

There’s nothing like a good prank to lighten the mood and brighten up our day. And one prankster who recently pulled the wool over someone’s eyes in an original way is Emily Cain who lives in England.

Most of us have gotten someone’s number only to later wonder what we should do with it. It’s always difficult to know the best way to act. Should we be polite and text them? Should we ignore them completely? Should we realize our lifelong dream of moving to the Swiss Alps with a romantic stranger? Or should we do what Emily did and prank the heck out of them?

Em made the guy think that he adopted a chimp named Bubbles and that he was donating money every time he sent a message.

But it wasn’t over just yet

I’ve gotta say, I love Emily’s sense of humor. She knows what’s what. The guy she was pranking, though—he got way too angry when he found out it was all a joke. Instead of laughing at himself, he viciously insulted Em.

Those kinds of swearwords don’t belong anywhere in the context of Bubbles the chimp, don’t you agree? Also, how naive can you be, buddy? There’s no such thing as an automatic chimp adoption system. We’re not living in ‘Planet of the Apes.’ (Yet..!)

Jokes aside, you really can adopt a chimp. Well, symbolically at least. It’ll stay in a zoo or a reservation, not in your home. Think of it as crowd-sourced adoption or a living-breathing representation of the idiom “it takes a village to raise a child.”

There are various organizations that send you updates on how your chimp’s doing, usually for a weekly or monthly support fee. For example, Save the Chimps lets you support ‘retired’ apes and promises you regular video updates. While Born Free sends you an adoption pack which includes a soft toy, a certificate, and a glossy photo of your new pal.

Born Free explains that chimps (along with bonobos) are our closest living relatives, are very intelligent and live in “complex social groups.” The global chimp population has declined due to diseases, habitat loss, and hunting. Their greatest enemies are ebola, anthrax, and people who think their meat’s delicious.
