      Chimpanzees and bonobos are separate species. Your boss cannot help you. You’re on your own.

          Thank you for recognizing I couldn’t tell something and pointing me in the right direction. You would make a good bonobo.

        That may be the case, regardless of species.

      I mean… a lot of Bonobo behavior would be inappropriate in the workplace.

        Probably less racist than my Gen X conservative boss though. Probably smarter and more efficient too.

        I dunno, I think an increase in mutual oral activity would help most jobs
