So this guy has a monkey. He dresses the monkey in an apron with pockets. He teaches it to put out its monkey-hand and take whatever is handed to him and put it in its apron pocket. That includes dollar bills. This guy is making a fortune! We went to the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica yesterday and this was one of the street performers. People were lining up to give this monkey a dollar! They waited with cameras and couldn’t give their money away fast enough just for a photo of the monkey taking their money. Imagine the thought process leading to this: “Let’s see… I have no marketable skills, I don’t really want to work anyway, so how can I get people to just give me money?” He’s a genius. I don’t have a picture to share, but I still have my dollar.
that is smart. i wish i could do that.
