KING KONG

01. Mr Bill Racey is a used old car dealer near Birmingham, England.

02. He bought, second-hand, a seven-metre high tall statue of King Kong,

03. the well-known Hollywood monster-gorilla. Mr Racey decided

04. to give his company another name. He would second name it

05. after the bought statue, and call it the King Kong Kar Kompany.

06. The day after he opened his business under the new name, Mr Racey

07. got a letter from the business-names section of the local government.

08. They told to him that he was not allowed to use the name, King Kong.

09. They said him that it looked as if he was patronised by the Royal Family,

10. that the Queen and her relations were among his customers.

11. Mr Racey was upset. He said that he would complain up

12. to the Queen. He explained that there was not being the slightest chance

13. of confusion. He had the gorilla over on the roof of the garage, and

14. it was dressed up as the Santa Claus. There was no way

15. that it could be mistaken for a member of the Royal Family.
