I dunno, all you monkeys look the same to me with your wrinkly skin and weird little noses and disturbingly lengthy forepaws.

...Not that there's anything wrong with looking like you could have bits snapped off you at any moment - I mean, my best friend is a monkey, you know? (We get along great, I bring him bananas every time I go over; he says they're a good source of potassium and fiber, and I suppose you guys'd know eh?)

and disturbingly lengthy forepaws.

I'm somewhat amused that the focus is on the lengthy forepaws, when the aftpaws are distinctly longer in almost every specimen. ;)

Sure they are longer, but you ever try snapping one of those thick boney aftpaws on a monkey? On second thought, don't answer that.

Sadly, it's easier than we monkeys would prefer.
