LOL !!!  Just be sure to swing through the trees when you're done eating.  I 
think those monkeys don't sit behind a computer or watch television.  Their 
nutritional requirements are probably a lot higher than ours with the type 
of activity they indulge.  Unless, of course, they're in a zoo......   Oliva
