Is that a Marmoset Under Your Hat?

[3113]

Poor monkey! Can you imagine? You're kickin' it in the jungle, hanging with your marmoset buddies...next thing you know, you're under a guy's hat, dealing with the dandruff, and on your way to New York City!

Passenger 'hid monkey under hat'

The monkey was said to have been well-behaved on the flight
A man has been questioned by police at LaGuardia airport in New York after smuggling a monkey onto a flight from Florida by hiding it under his hat.
Passengers spotted the animal when it climbed out and perched on the man's ponytail, Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell told reporters.

Ms Russell said the monkey - a marmoset - spent the remainder of the flight in the man's seat and was well-behaved. It is unclear whether the unnamed man will face any criminal charges.

The man's journey originated in Lima, Peru. Ms Russell said it was not known how the man avoided detection there, and during a several-hour stopover in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When passengers noticed the fist-sized primate on the flight, they asked the man "if he knew he had a monkey on him", Ms Russell said.

New York animal control officials said the monkey appeared to be healthy, the Associated Press news agency reported. It said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was planning to quarantine the animal for a month. After that, the monkey could be sent to a zoo, AP said.

Awww. I suppose I'd try to seal him in, too.

Come on, I can't be the only one who immediately thought of this.

This is yet another example of the incomplete reporting one finds in today's press. The key question here is compkletely ignored. Was the hat lined with tinfoil?

I thought this thread was going to be about Donald Trump.

Trump wears a small weasel. You're thinking of Elton John.

D'oh! http://bestsmileys.com/blushing/2.gif

So easy to get them confused though.

I thought that was Burt Reynolds.

And I was waiting for the next line -

Is that a Marmoset under your hat or are you just happy to see me?

 

[shereads]

I thought that was Burt Reynolds.

No, no, no. It was Ted Koppel who used to wear Burt Reynolds. Trump may have borrowed Reynolds a time or two, when his weasel was at the cleaners', but he never wore him in public. He's allergic to primates. They aggravate his scalp.

BWAH!

You people are killin' me. I have V-8 in my sinuses, as well as all over my keyboard.


"You've dosed your monkey!" they said.
And the man in the yellow hat just smiled.

When I was young, "monkey" was one synonym for the mokus, the pussy, the flange, the poon, the fabulous quiff that man has sought in all ages and all climes.

But-- it does not appear that anybody means this at all, since when I substitute "tuppy" for "monkey" in any of the discussion, it makes no sense.

Pity.

Maybe you aren't doing it right. I tried it, and it made more sense than the monkey.
