DON'T TELL PETA!

Now some of you may make light of this, but it is no joking matter. I happen to know that, since the organ grinder business bottomed out, Morrocco is severly over populated in monkeys. They tried importing Islamic extremists to take care of the problem, but they were unable to locate the monkey skyscrapers.

McMonkey burgers fell flat.

And so it goes.:D

Morocco offers US monkeys to detonate mine

RABAT, D.C., Morocco, March 24 (UPI) -- A Moroccan publication accused the government Monday of providing unusual assistance to U.S. troops fighting in Iraq by offering them 2,000 monkeys trained in detonating land mines.

The weekly al-Usbu' al-Siyassi reported that Morocco offered the U.S. forces a large number of monkeys, some from Morocco's Atlas Mountains and others imported, to use them for detonating land mines planted by the Iraqis.

The publication quoted a highly-informed source as saying, "that is not a scientific illusion but a well-known military tactic."

Monkeys???

I thought the dolphins were pretty cool. I wonder how far away we are from arming animals?:D

"Is it too much to ask for some man-eating sharks with fricking laser-beams implanted in their heads?" Monkeys might not be the sharpest knives in the drawer, but you have to wonder what they're going to think when Bob from the next cage over goes up to the funny box and tries to open it up for his banana, then vapourizes into red mist and monkey hair.

Not a bad use for monkeys given the alternatives, IMO.
