Monkey Business

Dave and I recently went to Utah for Canadian Thanksgiving. Who in their right mind goes to another country to celebrate their own country's holiday? Well, we do. Actually we went to a church conference and visited with friends whom I haven't seen in a few years and whom Dave had never met. We stayed with a friend Janaya and her husband Burton. We were driving home one night and monkeys came up. Janaya proceeded to tell us that human beings are so obsessed with monkeys (or any primate) that you cannot go for one day without hearing about or seeing something to do with monkeys. Since that day, Dave and I have seen and or heard about a monkey or something related to a monkey every single day.
I challenge you here and now to look for or hear about the not so elusive monkey. It's kind of crazy that you cannot do the same thing with man's best friend.

I don't need to hear that twice. Try living with Mark, Man of the Monekys. Everything is about monkeys. If a ridiculously stupid commercial comes on and it has monkeys in it, he freezes, if the radio is on and someone mentions monekys, you better not turn the channel!! I really think it is just men who are obssessed with monkeys - perhaps it is because they feel that close connection being related to one another and all.
