I believe I was at the New York State Fair (but it could have been somewhere else) as a kid when I met a monkey, and in any event it is one of my fondest memories. 

The monkey was wearing overalls, I handed him a quarter, the monkey took it from me, placed it in his cup that was attached to his overalls and he then shook my hand.  It was so flippin’ cool!!!

So I hope you all understand that I not only had a smile on my face while watching this, but I was actually clapping and screaming very loud with joy the entire time.
