The Man Who Feared No Monkey · 2 April 08
DISCLAIMER: A late-night, slightly garbled, recollection follows.
The man of indeterminate accent worked beside me in the club.
When asked, I had just told him I was part-Indian.
“India is a kind of, I don’t know how to say, mysticism. But it is not just a mysticism. It is a kind of spirituality. I want to go there. I want to see the, you know, streets and the monkeys.’
ME: Yeah, there are lots of monkeys there. Sometimes they’re even dangerous.
MAN: I want to fight the monkeys.
ME: What?
MAN: I want to, you know, fight them.
ME: Oh. Um, like I said, some of them are kind of dangerous.
MAN: Yeah, I would carry, you know, a tube. [pretends to swing a big stick] You know, a, I don’t know the word [makes walking stick motions]
ME: Like a cane?
MAN: Yeah, like a cane. I just want to fight them.

I’ll help him. Those monkeys need to be shown who’s boss. We cannot let the animal revolution continue. Let me get my stick.

Beware, Andy. Time magazine notes that: “Even Delhi’s police headquarters has been raided by a monkey gang.
