It’s the debate that has taken the Internet by storm – who would win in a fight: 100 Mennonites or a gorilla? We took to the streets of Kleefeld to see what the people thought about this pressing question. Here are some of the replies:
“We’re assuming the Mennonites don’t have weapons, right? But can they toss knipsbrat knipsers? Or pummel the gorilla with zoat? There are all sorts of options. Maybe Pastor Dave can lull the gorilla to sleep with one of his sermons. I think the Mennonites have pretty good odds.” – Frank Wiens, 77
“100 random Mennonites wouldn’t have a chance, but 100 Wiebe boys? Now that’s a fight I would pay to watch.” – Earl Neufeld, 58
“Why are you even asking this question? Mennonites are nonviolent, even against gorillas, so we would much rather flee to Grunthal than bear arms against a gorilla.” – Lois Pankratz, 71
“Is that a picture of a gorilla or is that just my Uncle Harry?” – Timmy Kroeker, 11
“The key would be whether the Mennonites could work together agains the gorilla. But they’re going to need to form a few committees and discuss the matter. By then the gorilla would have done his damage. It would be too late.” – Margaret Klassen, 41
“I think a better question is whether 100 GCers could take on one EMCer.” – Ruth Giesbrecht, 83
“Nah, oba.” – Susie Enns, 97 (walks away in disgust)
