Volume 8, Issue 5

Everybody loves them, or is that hates them, or whatever.

Without referencing ANY of the Planet of the Apes movies, my son wonders what would happen if the world was ruled by monkeys?

I should warn Frank J. about this.

As Chigh Chigh Rodwigweez once said, "Fear not the monkey, for one day he shall inhabit the earth. Or was it inhibit? something like that"

Actually, I think the quote was from that movie, "The Planet of the Apes, Revenge of the Orangutan". Oh wait, what were the rules again?

Prehensile tail locked into a position of authority, Ms. Oo-oo-ee looked around from her perch high in the school’s arbortorium. “Let’s begin by reviewing yesterday’s lesson about defending yourself from the lesser primates,” she told the class. “Who can tell me about gorillas and orangutans?”

“Run away very fast?” Ee-ee-ee hesitantly responded.

“Excellent answer!” grinned Ms. Oo-oo-ee. “Now how about baboons?”

“Make fun of their butts and then climb a tree,” answered little Aa-aa-oo. The other students laughed.

Ms. Oo-oo-ee scowled. “And the furless apes?”

Uh-oo-aa firmly gripped his spear and grimaced. “Aim for the neck or chest,” he replied.

The Simian Guard rushed him, and in the scuffle his crate of gunpowder was upset. He flung his cigarette at the stray powder in desperation - it struck the damp cellar floor, sizzled, and went out. The guards shrieked.

"You'll not make a monkey out of me!" Guy tore free and bolted down the corridor. He flung open the stairwell door, only to discover that Monkey Parliament was still in session. There were hundreds of monkeys, dressed in wigs and coats, speaking incomprehensibly and at great length on monkey politics.

"The horror," said Guy. A shot was fired, and he fell.
