This is a great source of puzzling-out-of-context quotes: "A monkey bites my grandson in Key Food. Who can think of such a thing happening?" Or: "Monkeys are not shoppers." Also: what's wrong with the term "helper monkey"? It's so much more evocative than "service monkey" which sounds more like a slur on the guy who works at the gas station. And there should be "hindrance monkeys" as well. Let's hire one to "help out" the Bush team. Oh wait...they already have a chimp.

Ha, on all counts.

And, actually, monkeys are shoppers, although some of them--usually the executive monkeys-- hire personal shoppers if they are busy.

"Shelley, hold my calls. Let's see. Okay, I need some bananas, and some ... well, some more bananas, and ... no, that's it. Use the Visa."

Well, I'd probably bite you, too, if you pulled on macaque.

"But some neighbors said they have seen Seidler doing chores in the yard and doubt the monkey is more than an exotic pet - which would make it illegal in the city. Seidler, an Orthodox Jew, dismissed such comments as anti-Semitic." Not to mention anti-simian as well!

Many of these chimps desperately need a place to go.
