[Staff article about Guerillas and Gorillas](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mguerilla.html).

I just wanted to be the first one to point out the exchange in _Captain Ron_.

…Martin Short’s character is about to explore some woods.

[Captain Ron]: You better be careful. There’s guerillas in those woods.

[Martin Short’s Character] There are no gorillas in these woods!

[Captain Ron]: Yeah there are. I’ve seen them.

[Martin Short] There are no gorillas in these woods. Gorillas live in Africa. This is an island in the Caribbean. There are no gorillas in these woods!!!

…A short time later Martin Short is ambushed by guerillas.

Hey, Hanno just had trouble understanding his interpreters. They were saying that the gorillas were there on the island, and the boyoyas had gone off for a beer.
