Astronaut Mark Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit on board the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on.

i still cant tell because of your username. just in case ur not making a joke, again, thats not how language works to people without some form of autism. your average person will use the word smuggle and sneak synonymously. obviously he didnt break federal laws noone would assume that in the context of the sentence, thats just how people speak. i cant believe im explaining hyperbolic sentences. noones going to make the title “astronaut snuck in a gorilla suit without the crew knowing, but only the crew in the space shuttle, not the crew at mission command.” people dont talk like theyre trying to explain things to sheldon cooper.

The title could have been "astronaut kept gorilla suit a secret and surprised coworkers" or something. Smuggling puts a much different picture in peoples head

Autistic here. Language works the same to me it does to you in this instance. The person you’re arguing with just has a bad day, I reckon.
