I was always under the impression one was supposed to put the lime in the coconut.

How to Climb a Coconut Tree

At the end of WWII, my career Navy father first made landfall in Hawaii, somewhere in the celebrations he fell down a coconut tree he was climbing, sustaining a serious injury to a very personal bit of the anatomy.

And I’m here to prove the Navy Docs did AOK on what was left.

Are these the monkeys who are prone to slinging their own poo at eat other? Well, that broke me of my lifelong obsession for German Chocolate Cake. Especially if the cocoa pickers are dung lobbers, too.

” one was supposed to put the lime in the coconut.”

Put the lime in the coconut and drink ‘em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, and you’ll feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink ‘em bot’ up
Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning

Picking coconuts is dangerous! Every year there are people killed by falling coconuts. Besides, if they ban monkeys, growers will just turn to gorillas they will train to shake the tree until all the coconuts fall.

You may be thinking of the overpopulated antifa monkey.

Well, that goes without saying. But at least the coconut and cocoa monkeys provide a beneficial service.

So they want men to risk their lives climbing up these trees.

Got it.

ABC... Always be climbing. The top coconut picker gets a new Cadillac. Second place gets a bunch of bananas. Third is sent to a Chinese restaurant.

No worrying about rain, cold, food, predators...or your cannibalistic neighbor.

Sounds like a good gig for a monkey, to me.
