After reading the Bulletin Board in Thursday’s paper, an article on the opposite page titled, “Diapered Monkey Briefly Eludes Police” caught my attention. With so much sad disturbing news lately an account of a monkey on the run seemed like delightful escapism.
The story relates police efforts to locate a monkey that bit a woman in Madison. Drs. were advising quarantining the animal until transmission of contagion was ruled out. They found the monkey, and the man who had kept the monkey on a leash in a local beer garden, but the monkey escaped before being captured by animal control. After an alert went out for a monkey wearing a diaper, the monkey was captured within seven hours. I wonder if it was necessary to specify they were looking for a monkey wearing a diaper. Couldn’t they just arrest any monkey running loose in Madison? A woman then came forth saying the animal was her service monkey. She had loaned him to a friend for the evening. I don’t think this guy watched the early years of “Friends” and the trouble David Schwimmer had with his pet. He probably just wanted to pick up girls.
Service monkeys are trained to assist severely disabled persons. I hope she does not have her monkey repossessed for her bad judgment loaning him to a friend. Maybe I am assuming too much. Perhaps the friend was disabled also.
Do you think the local police found any humor in this caper? Do you think a rookie cop was assigned the duty of changing the diaper on that animal?
Local television news could have had some fun with the story. Who was Pampering the monkey? Did they Luv him? Curious George, is that you?
