Monkey Business

So much dreary and depressing stuff in the news that when I came upon the story of the monkeys in Puerto Rico, my day lit up.
The story goes like this:
A bunch of monkeys escaped from a scientific research center in Puerto Rico ( I had no idea that they even had a research center there ) and started doing what monkeys and Puerto Ricans do so well,
they multiplied.
From the alleged ten escapees, they now fear they have an army of a thousand, raiding fields of produce causing the farmers no end of grief.
To alleviate this serious problem, the authorities put out eight cages, stuffed with mangoes, to lure the pesky monkeys and trap them. The monkeys got the mangoes but the authorities got no monkeys. AH But, said the authorities, this is just the beginning. We will now set out twelve cages, full of mangoes.
You guess what happened.
Smart little buggers, them monkeys.
Did it make your day too ?

Yes you did!
On a day where Denmark was about to win Le Mans racing - they crashed the car, and Tom K. lost his 8 victory - this made the day joyfull after all.
