One of my friend's dad & his brother had a pet monkey in the 60's when they were in high school. After one of his daughter's weddings, he got tipsy and told a couple of stories. One was about the monkey.

They took it with them when the family drove down to New Orleans for a week. After their parents went to sleep, they snuck out of their hotel room and walked around in the French Quarter with him. They watched one of those Bourbon street preachers on a corner for a while & just walked around looking at drunks on the street. He said they waited until midnight to sneak out & came back around 2 am.

When they got back to their hotel, they argued about who left the light on. When they opened the door, their parents were sitting up drinking cokes in their room.

They had turned the lights out and were listening to the preacher's show on the radio. They heard him talking about some boys walking around with a money on a leash, figured that was them & knew they needed to check their room. When they knew they were gone, they worried enough to get up & get dressed. The dad went out on foot to look for them. He bought cokes and doughnuts at an all-night grocery & walked back to the room.

The dad telling us the story says his parents were really mad & he got in all-kinds of trouble, but he's laughing as he tells us about it.

Then he starts telling me about how the day his son, who was my good friend, was on the elevator going to have his tonsils removed, and kept saying, "Daddy, I am so f*cked up" over, and over. It wasn't just his dad & his mom on the elevator with he & a nurse. Their pastor was on it too.

There is a troop of monkeys that live around the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. Supposedly. I've never seen them.

I wonder what percentage of monkeys hurt each other


Depends on the species and how advanced they are. Most lower primate species respek one another, or don’t notice when one member of the troop disrespeks them. As the monkey species advances to more human like characteristics, they do notice a lack of respek and that has been known to trigger a violent reaction from the monkey who feels disrespekted.

They were considered a "manufactured"band, and didn't write or produce their music.
