Monkeys

 

 

 

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes the attempt with same result, all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another Monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the snot out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

 

 

 

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

 

 

 

Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs OR even why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. Finally, after replacing all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why not?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because as far as they know, that is the way it has always been done around here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that, my fellow monkeys, is how Government operates - And precisely why we need to REPLACE all the original monkeys this August.

If any of you don't understand Bryons post, scratch your head, but not under your arms.

So, what you are basicaly saying is, same organ and grinder, different monkey.

 

Why vote you only encourage the barstuards!

 

 

[winsor68]

Hang about... we are the monkeys (including the politicians)...

 

The real question is who is really holding the water bottle?

 

 

[johndl]

No, the Ranga is already running the country:laugh:

Oh that's good!!:big_grin:

 

 

[johndl]

Chimps have ears that stick out....so does someone in the opposition. A coincidence -I think not lol

 

 

[Yenn]

My answer. Vote one group of monkeys in, but make sure that its head monkey loses it's seat. Chaos for a short while. Next time round, again make sure that the head monkey loses it's seat.

Yenn,

 

You might be on a winner. !! Problem is - we're still dealing with monkeys.

 

Now imagine what could be achieved with people - and go one better - people with common sense AND the gift to use it !!!

 

Back to monkeys . It's the read-head Orangutan or the big-eard Chimp !

 

The banana Republic has never looked better!

The banana Republic has never looked better!

That's the problem, they threw out all the straight ones.

 

 

[Guest Wigg]

Problem there Tomo there is no such thing as a straight one, not one of either breed can lie straight in bed or anywhere else.
