Well, with my suggestion I was hoping that by just killing a few, the rest would get the hint. They are pretty smart.

Was this anywhere near that place that Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” did that show with the crazy monkey lady, Dawn Magowan?
She was NUTZ!!! Mike and the rest of the shows crew were being attacked and bitten by all the crazy monkeys and SHE was treating like it was no big deal!
Here’s the youtube link:

This is a bit disturbing, I must say. If they forage as far as St. James’ Gate in Dublin, Ireland where Guinness is brewed, ring me up. I’ll bring a platoon of 3/5 Marines with me.

PS I gave up beer for Lent. It has been the longest Lent of my entire life...

Guinness isn’t made from grapes, so you’re safe. I’m sure they could use those Marines at the Sebeka winery, though!
Hang in there, FRiend - Lent is almost over!

"They choose the nicest bunches, and you will see the ones they leave on the ground. If you taste them, they are sour," said Francois van Vuuren, farm manager at La Terra de Luc vineyards, 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Cape Town. "They eat the sweetest ones and leave the rest." Obviously these are very talented animals, since they so quickly find only the choicest and ripest grapes. They should be trained to do the harvesting.

Umm, baboons love a smoky Pinotage like Clemenza. Who would think that a cross between a Queen grape like Pinot Noir and a garbage grape like Cinsault would be so tasty and perfect for a South African Braai (barbecue).

Africa does have some very good wines. Stay away from the reds from Algeria and Morocco.

If these things eat grapes, they may eat Hops. I’m having cold sweats just thinking about this. I need to make it through next week... [teeth chattering]

You could give yourself an Exception for Palm Sunday.
