Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey

You know that song made no sense to me until I went to India and you actually spend any time around monkeys.

They're everywhere in India. Like stray cats here? Or

homeless people under Pierce elevated? That's monkeys in India.

And they're mischievous little fellows.

They can be mean.

My late father-in-law told me a story about a monkey that lived up above the mess where he was living.

He was always on Air Force bases.

And it was a monkey who would take, I can't remember what it was,

pineapples or leechies or coconuts or something,

and would pluck them.

And when he would come out in the morning,

he'd drop them on his head and he said it hurt and he wore a very similar to the to

the US Air Force that kind of cap I don't know what you call the the military term for that type of it's not a hard hat on top at all and he said hit me on my bald head and I'd scream out in pain and then he would make this gesture, this sort of

spasm that amused him and the other monkeys would all laugh. Like this is not

normal for the animal kingdom. You know most animals either flee from you or try to kill you or maybe they want to be petted by you. But they don't taunt you and then laugh at you this is weird. But when

you observe monkeys for any period of time you begin to understand the title of the

song everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey.

Because monkeys have no shame. They're doing it all right there. They want to they want to

poo in their hand and fling it on you. They're gonna do it. We got humans that behave like that. They're basically, well now they're literally, but they're basically doing that.

And this is all the breakdown of the rule of law.
