Well here's an interesting zoo keeper story.
I tried to verify this as it looked like it might be fake. Snopes doesn't have anything about this. And I found a Huffington Post story about it saying that they weren't sure it wasn't fake.
Here's the Huffpo story.
You've kissed butt at work, but this zoo keeper took the metaphorical act to a whole new (and literal) level.
Chinese zookeeper Zhang Bangsheng, 50, reportedly did the unthinkable when a leaf monkey in his care couldn't pass a peanut: he licked its butt for "over an hour" to encourage it to defecate, China Smack reported, citing the Wuhan Evening.
Bangsheng claims the monkey was too small for medication to help it pass the peanut, so licking was the only way to help it -- after washing its bottom with warm water, Orange News reported.
If you go to the Huffpo link, there is a video about this. Trick is you have to know Chinese.

That's a rough part of any job description!
I'm glad I'm not a zookeeper!
I'm not sure Workman's Compensation would cover any resulting injuries, but the claim would be a great read.
It must be a hard job to fill!
Now THAT'S labor-intensive!
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!
Sorry, but if I were the zoo keeper the little guy would have to pass it on his own
...or die trying!
I don't know if it's real, but it does remind me of my last corporate job.
