More Monkey Business

I mentioned my sighting of the copulating monkeys to a friend at work and she said that she had also seen it – but thankfully her young son, who was also in the room at the time, had not.

She reminded me that the copulating monkeys went at it for a good 10 minutes after which time the rather smug narrator announced ‘Of course, monkey copulation never lasts for very long…’

I posited my theory that the child monkey who came along and slapped the father monkey’s arse towards the end was only perverted because he had come across a careless BBC cameraman’s secret stash of porn and stolen some. He’d had a quick look through, got quite excited then decided he wanted some part in the action.

My friend pointed out that the narrator had also said the young monkey slapping his father’s arse was ‘part of the bonding process’. In humankind a similar act would involve the Social Services.

But different strokes and all that…
