…MONKEY?!? in the window?
Okay, small disclaimer here. He wasn’t in the window, but he was for sale.
“Sale,” being a term of some debate in this matter.
Sure, who wouldn’t like a pet monkey? I could go off and quote an awesome Dane Cook bit about monkeys, but it would be far better to let you see it for yourself. So head on over to his website, go to the audio/video section and check out the “Shorties Watchin’ Shorties” clip, then come back here.
It’s okay. I’ll wait.
Back? See?!? Now don’t you want a monkey too? If you do, and you’ve got the cash to spend, you can get one in Tokyo.
They sell them in pet stores here.
At least, in the shop in Odaiba’s Palette Town they do. I was down there with Jane while she was here and I wanted to show her how insanely expensive animals are here. They had the usual thousand-dollar dogs and cats, hundred-dolllar lizards, and even a coked-up squirrel for about $600.
And then there were the monkeys.
Yes, plural. They had two different ones. One went for abotu $4,000 and the other was $6,000. The cheaper one was much cooler looking, so he’s the monkey I’d go with if I were monkey shopping. I think he (she? it?) was a Capuchin, but I’m not really sure. He had a bald face and sporty white tufts of fur covering his ears. I don’t know that I really need monkey, or that I’d spend $4,000 on one if I decided I did have such a need, but it would be pretty damned sweet.
Don’t you think? ^.^
