So when an America Online chat with Koko, billed as a gorilla who can communicate with humans through sign language, quickly devolved into a Dada exercise, Dr. Francine Patterson, Koko's sign-language teacher, used some pretty impressive logic to expand her simian friend's limited communication skills.
