So there are some benefits of having friends who can trace their lineage back to their primate ancestors. For example, when it came time to paint some hard-to-reach corners in the entryway of our new house, we had our hands tied. Luckily, Jimmy, our half-human-drum-machine, half-monkey, friend came to the rescue. In the pictures below, you’ll notice he’s got his legs wrapped around some railing about 12 feet off the ground. That’s a pretty hard fall if he slips, FYI. So anyway, Jimmy, we thank you (one thing to note about half-monkey friends is that you should always show gratitude for what they do or they’ll start flinging their own feces at your window at 3 AM . . . we need to find another monkey friend to help clean that one up.)
