I was once bitten by a Capuchin. For real. (No, my sister was not bitten by a moose.)
My first job at the hospital where I worked for 20 years was as a volunteer in the Pathology Department.My boss,a neuropathologist,wanted me to go to medical school so he arranged for me to have various fascinating experiences.One was for me to assist in a kidney transplant done on a chimp in one of the research labs (it was a major hospital affiliated with a major medical school).My job was to watch (*very* interesting) and to keep an eye on the chimp.Toward the end of the procedure the anesthesia started to wear off and the chimp started moving around.The doctor said to me "we'll be done in a minute or two,could you please hold the chimp's mouth still",which I tried to do...but he (or she,can't recall which) bit me.
So now whenever anyone says to me "have I ever shown you where the monkey bit me?" I have a great comeback.
