Today, the letter M can only really be for one thing...Monkeys! Those fun-loving, free-swinging, caca-throwing imps of the jungle and comedy. If you are having a bad day, anything to do with monkeys will make it better. Even David Letterman has a oft-quoted schtick about monkeys, where he states, " I wouldn't give my/his/her troubles to a monkey on a rock!". The band and the audience participate and it is great fun while never failing to make me chuckle. Monkeys are just THAT much fun.
My wife and I even have a stuffed monkey (aka Travel Monkey) that we take with us on vacation. He usually steals the show and is a great conversation starter.
I did a post about this monkey a year or so ago. Tell me that you didn't break into a little grin (like I did) when you read the line, "What we're really doing is turning him into a drug addict".
This monkey story is just as funny. Pray tell what species of monkey IS native to San Antonio, TX??? I ask you!
Finally, why couldn't a monkey be a service animal? 'Cause the judge said so!
Okay, one more, just in case you didn't believe humans and monkeys are closely related...this test seals it!
It seems if one were going for the fun and merriment of the above articles, the macaque monkey is the way to go. And here I always thought that capuchin monkeys were the bomb!
You can go finger monkey:

Until tomorrow...let a little monkey fun into your life.
