Add another chimp to the Woot pantheon. Quieter than our Screaming Monkey, more bipedal than the Sea Chimp, and even more hedonistic than Dr. Hercules, this chimp-who-shall-remain-nameless enjoys a good cigar, and he'll be damned if he lets a bunch of human scientists take that away from him. From his Shemp Howard-like center part to his George Burnsian stogie, this tobacco-loving primate proves that bad habits aren't confined to the human species.

This shirt was designed by: Brooklyn painter/drawer Lawrence Quigley, as part of diptych entitled "evolving on a shoestring." Along with other work by LQ, it'll be hanging at NYC's Gallery on Dean until Sept. 12. Warns Quigley: "If I see any wooters wearing the shirt I will autograph it, whether they want me to or not."

Wear this shirt to: encourage chimpanzees to smoke, so they die off before they evolve beyond the human race and enslave us on their vast banana plantations.

Don’t wear this shirt to: a veterinary lung cancer ward, if anything like that exists.

This shirt tells the world: "I like my chimpanzees the way I like my crack rocks: yellow and smoking."

We call this color: Yellow, But Not Like A Banana, More Like A Lemon.
