I was once gripped by urban flight. I moved to the promised land on the north shore of lake Ponchartrain and got an apt in a cute town a short walk from the water. I met a medium sized angry monkey with hepatitis who lived in a decaying misshapen cage made of 2x4s and wire fence. It lived in someone's back yard.
Oh, and the reason these people had a hepatitis monkey in a cage in the back yard was because it was given hepatitis in a laboratory experiment, and they didn't want it to get put down.
What's it mean?
ReplyDeleteJust that it was weird and dangerous, and thinking back on it, I can't believe it was allowed, or that there was never a north shore monkey rampage.
ReplyDeleteHealthy monkeys are bad enough.
When we got vaccinations for our trip to Africa, the doctor told us never to touch a monkey there because they all carry a horrible kind of monkey herpes. FYI.
