In a stunning coup on the world’s media, bobcrespo.com has secured an interview with George, the last living Neanderthal man. Thought to be extinct for thousands of years, George came out of hiding when the last of his kind other than himself died. Alone in the world and facing the oblivion of loneliness and isolation, George wants to tell the world his story. Here goes:
Bobcrespo.com: Thank you for sitting down with us today, George.

George: Me have wish. Me like brown bear. Tell human no kill all.
And there you have it folks, the first (and apparently last!) interview with The Last Caveman. True to his word, George walked out of bobcrespo.com HQ and roared off on his Harley to parts unknown with Lulu hanging on.
