Just wait until these little grifters figure out how to pull a "Long Con!"

Scientists may be baffled but I’m not surprised. Monkeys are smart.

“There’s now an actual “monkey negotiator” role, which is as crazy as it sounds.”

Almost as crazy sounding as the homeless programs in Seattle. Having someone in these types of roles encourages the behavior.

If there were thieving monkeys in my neck of the woods, said monkey would meet a quick elimination with sudden lead ventilation syndrome.

Meh. It's not just monkeys. The only reason I'm awake at this gosh-forsaken late hour is because my miniature dachshund woke me up for her regular 3 a.m. brushing chew treat.

She has me WELL trained, LOL.

The author of this article is an idiot. Obviously the monkeys have, over a long time and an endless stream of visitors, stolen all manner of things from tourists, who have offered the monkey a bit of food to get it back. It is the reaction of tourists that has CONDITIONED them to focus on those slender little boxes and sunglasses that get the biggest and most regular rewards. This is straight out of B.F. Skinner. Mistaking classical condition for human-like reasoning makes him look like a fool. Probably saw a video of chickens playing tic tac toe and stopped going to KFC ‘cuz cHicKnS R sMaRt.

Hmmm... Just like Somali pirates. I wonder if whitey can take away any information of value from this.

[sit-rep]

just as long as they dont spank the monkey looking at the iPhone!!

[daku]

It’s all fun and games until they start opening Learing Centers

[FLT-bird]

So basically they’re like Somalis. Only much cuter.

[Rocco DiPippo]

So the Somalians are at it again? Big deal. . .

[BigFreakinToad]

I was going to say something about Minnesota and leering centers, but decided not to.

I had a monkey and traded it for a tank of gas one night about 1969 0r 70, I still chuckle at what a great relief it was and often wonder if that guy still hates me for suckering him like that.

And that, Johnny, is how democrats get elected.

I hate monkeys. My “negotiation” technique with the little monsters would likely get me arrested and imprisoned.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

It's a monkey-run economy, and it's really fascinating

“Most Sophisticated Scheme Ever”

...EVER, I tell ya!

I hate clickbait headlines.

Obviously written by someone too selfish to have shared their lives with dogs — and spotted this within minutes.
