Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no Evil

“Everybody’s got something to hide except for me and my monkey”.  Two monkeys, a lesbian and a priest go into a bar…. Do you know why that joke is funny? Because it has monkeys in it!! Yes, monkeys are always funny especially Barrel Monkey’s!! Anyway as soon as I hear that old saying about see no evil…I automatically think of monkeys, to be specific Barrel Monkeys.  Those fun loving care free monkeys who swing from tree to tree looking for bananas and other monkey’s to chase. Where do you think the term barrel full of monkey’s came from??    You rarely see a depressed monkey even when they have nothing to do they can make a game out of flinging their own shit at each other. Now that is inventive, like snow balls without the snow or the cold.  That leads me to the age old question of what is a Barrel Monkey and what does it have to do with me??  To answer this question, I went to my go to expert on monkey’s Tommy “The Hammer” and he proceeded to tell me that Barrel Monkey’s are first and foremost sexual misfits, hence their happy go lucky attitude.  They are always chasing or teasing some poor unsuspecting female monkey around.  I don’t know about you but I am always happiest being a sexual misfit that’s just me.  Then Tommy pulled out a bottle of Barrel Monkey wine [who knew monkey’s made wine] and right on the label was a picture of a presumed drunk and happy monkey explaining that a Barrel Monkey was the guy / monkey who rolled the barrels, moved hoses and did all the work that no else wanted to.  Apparently that is how they learned to make some kick ass wine.

That made me think, “haven’t we all been Barrel Monkey’s at some point in our lives??”  Starting from the bottom doing all those jobs that no else wanted to do in order to learn about becoming better people down the road of life.  Being a Barrel Monkey will not only teach you to appreciate what you have but to give you the work ethic you will take with you for the rest of your life.  We are all responsible for our own “shit” and not just flinging it at other monkeys but taking what we have and making the best of it!  My Father imparted those ideas onto Robert and I and I have tried to impart that onto my Sons as well.  In fact John is going through his own Barrel Monkey experience now and I would hope that he will come out the other side knowing exactly what he wants to do with the rest of his life or at the very least what he doesn’t want to do.  So get out there and be a happy Barrel Monkey and chase someone special around the dining room tonight if for nothing else to feel alive.  This is Big Bill reminding you to always Put Stuff in its Place!!
