What's a Gorga Monkey anyway??

There are a lot of theories about what a Gorga Monkey actually is…

I would like to share with you a couple of theories I have come up with…

My first theory is based on a bygone era when new things were being discovered or invented every day.
Back in the time when most T.V. sets were black and white and cable and satellite TV wasn’t invented yet – that is the time when I believe the Gorga Monkey’s were discovered. From what I can tell, a “Dr. Anthony Gorga” saw that his kids loved nothing more than to jump and climb on anything and everything. So, from time to time, he would just call them his little Gorga Monkey’s. When his kids had children of their own, they became Gorga Monkeys. So, I believe that it is a kind of term of endearment and that is where the name came from.

The second theory is based on the fact that if you take out two letters from the state name Georgia, you get Gorga. Maybe it’s no coincidence that the first Gorga Monkey’s location started in Powder Springs – GeORGiA.

I cannot really decide which one is right. The first theory is very endearing but the second theory is very factual. You can decide for yourself if you swing on by Gorga Monkey’s Jump & Play – 3405 Florence Circle SW – Powder Springs GeORGiA (770) 439-2277.

P.S. I think I might be one of those Gorga Monkey’s myself…
