So a Monkey Walks into a Bar...
Okay. Yesterday I was sitting at the computer which is in the bar almost attached to my guesthouse in Langkawi, Malaysia. It's kind of an open air building style here so although the owners of the bar are on vacation and closed the place, the people staying at the guesthouse can get in the back "door" to use the internet. Anyway, I'm sitting here catching up a bit and doing a little research for Indonesia, when someone announces that the monkey is loose. You see, one of the previous guests staying here left his monkey behind, so the guesthouse owner has been taking care of it until they figure out what to do with it. So the monkey was roaming freely and decided to head directly for the bar.
It was getting dark and the only light was that coming from the computer screen, making it hard to see anything. Then suddenly a monkey ran onto the table, grabbed the headset attached to my computer and started to chew. We tried to get him out, but it only scared him and he started to get a little aggressive. So we coward in the corner and tried to sneak out. Meanwhile the monkey was behind the bar, breaking glasses, chewing on the computer mouse, knocking over everything. Generally creating a scene.
It took the gentle pursuasion of the lady who owns the guesthouse to coax the little climber over to her. Then she hugged him and pet him and put him back into his cage. Evidently, she's the only one he'll go to. It was an exciting night. After that, we decided that we all needed to crack open a beer and have a good laugh at it all. oh my god, we chuckled the rest of the night about that one.
