A woman was shot dead after a hunter mistook her for a monkey it has been reported.

The 19-year-old man was on a hunting trip in Saudi when he saw what he thought was a monkey sitting in the top of a tree harvesting fruit.

'He aimed his gun and shot. The bullet hit the woman in the chest. When the man came near her, he was shocked to find she is a woman,' Emirates 24/7 said.

I can relate. Big Bird was my first fantasy.

That is either out of context or Too Much Information (TMI)

Oooops, sorry, posted to wrong thread. I meant it for the “Name your first Sesame Street crush” one.

[Nahhh I Dont Think So]

I see no need to apologize; it kind of fit with the topic at hand, ironically...

An insurance salesman hunting acquantence, visiting a client just back from the dark continent was shown some of his trophies ncluding a monkey that the professional hunter had given the guy his pistol to shoot outta a fruit tree.

She couldn’t help the fact that she looked like a monkey.

Saudi men can’t differentiate between a woman and a monkey anyway because they seldom see the women un-covered.

More than one element of this story doesn’t sound right. Who knew they had monkeys and fruit trees (aside from date palms, of course) in Saudi Arabia?

[onedoug]

saudi “hunter” sees woman in a tree, shoots her and claims he thought she was a monkey.

That about sums up how women are treated in that islamic rat’s nest.

[IbJensen]

I think perhaps their women resemble monkeys.

Maybe he also mistook his wife for a hat. ;’)

Reminds me of that line in the Pink Panther about it not being his monkey.

“I am just an artiste - ze monkey, he is ze businessman.”
