First, picture a monkey. A monkey dressed like a little pirate, if that helps you. We'll call him Slappy.
Imagine you have Slappy as a pet. Imagine a personality for him. Maybe you and he have little pirate monkey adventures and maybe even join up to fight crime. Think how sad you'd be if Slappy died.
Now, imagine you get four more monkeys. We'll call them Tito, Bubbles, Marcel and ShitTosser. Imagine personalities for each of them now. Maybe one is aggressive, one is affectionate, one is quiet, the other just throws shit all the time. But they're all your personal monkey friends.
Now imagine a hundred monkeys.
Not so easy now, is it? So how many monkeys would you have to own before you couldn't remember their names? At what point, in your mind, do your beloved pets become just a faceless sea of monkey? Even though each one is every bit the monkey Slappy was, there's a certain point where you will no longer really care if one of them dies.
So how many monkeys would it take before you stopped caring?
That's not a rhetorical question. We actually know the number.

Does this mean I can slap my monkey?
do you have a monkey to slap?
Is a Baboon considered a monkey for this discussion?
It sometimes happens.
Well...I didn’t want to brag.....
“We actually know the number”
Is there an implied threat in that statement?
Monkeysphere...? Why doesn’t he just say that we care about people we know and don’t care much about people we don’t know...?
Been around the Net a few times
All in All a useful treatise
Comes under the subheadings of:
If you know someone who isn't screwed up, I want to meet them
Do not Judge, for as you judge, so will you be judged
Oh yes, the answer is ~150 monkeys
The monkeysphere is where ever the MA governor Deval Patrick is.
B.S.
First of all, tipping is a personal choice, being taxed is not.
Secondly, the entire amount of the tip goes to the intended recipient. Taxed money passes through several layers of bureaucracy, each taking their little cut. Whatever is left over goes where the government wants to go, not where the person being taxed wants it to go.
