Primate political opinion?

LUSAKA (AFP) — A monkey urinated on Zambian President Rupiah Banda as he spoke to reporters outside his State House offices on Wednesday.

"You have urinated on my jacket," a startled Banda told the monkey, one of many that makes their home in the trees outside his offices.

"I will give this monkey for lunch to Mr Sata," he joked, referring to opposition leader Michael Sata, who Banda defeated in last year's elections.

Banda is reported to have spent most of the news conference discussing the state of the economy - apparently monkeys are no happier about the global recession than the rest of us.

Pooping for Company

And peeing too.

When it rains, they will not go outside. Not even when it stops raining, because the grass is still wet. They will get all excited about going outside,and will be all, “OOOUTSIDE!” and then they will take great, tremendous dachshund leaps off of the back step, realize midair that the GROUND IS WET, REPEAT, THE GROUND IS WET, ABORT MISSION ABORT!and they will somehow contort their strange little bodies midair, in such a way that they completely turn and end up behind me, probably somewhere on the sofa, while I stand in the doorway and stare, blankly, at where they used to be.
