Verbal Doodle - “Who has more fun than people?”

Who has more fun than people? It’s a difficult question to answer, that. Immediately, of course, oragatanges come to mind. With all those elongated limbs and that happy-go-lucky tree life, what could there possibly be to complain about? The problem with this answer, though, is whether or not oragutangs can be considered a ‘who’. What does define, anyways? Is who a word saved strictly to refer to people? We don’t say that the flowers who are yellow are pretty. We give flowers the ‘that’ treatment. So where do our wonderful, fun-loving primate friends fit into all this? The orangutans who are brown, or the orangutans that are black? Beats me. One thing I know though, is that I’ve written ‘orangutanges’ three times now, each of which has been spelt differently. Whoops. Make that four times.
