I had a bad experience with a perverted monkey when I was a little girl. My teen daughter kept asking for a monkey and I kept emphatically telling her no. She finally made me tell why, and she thought it was funny!
A coworker once told me about a dolphin making sexual advances towards her. So I told her about my monkey experience. Next day I come in to find a stuffed monkey on my desk! Guess what she found on her desk the next day! 🐬🦧
Is that where they get the phrase “monkeying around?”
Personally, I can’t stand monkeys or apes of any kind. Never found them interesting to watch at all. We have this zoo thing around here that you drive your vehicle through and the animals are all loose around you. The monkeys climbed all over the cars. They’re disgusting and they stink. Apes are worse.
LOL
