Yes, something — ape-like about him, like one of those pictures I've seen in — anthropological studies. Thousands and thousands of years have passed him right by, and there he is — Stanley Kowalksi — survivor of the stone age, bearing the raw meat home from the kill in the jungle. And you — you here — waiting for him! Maybe he'll strike you or maybe grunt and kiss you! That is, if kisses have been discovered yet!
