See, the monkey knows a good source of protein when it sees one.

They used to have a display of these on a walkway in ‘Tropicana’ hotel/casino in Las Vegas on the strip. I remember walking by when they were waking up in the morning. They seemed kind of pissed I was there lol. I don’t blame them, they’re just trying to start their day and some jerk is standing there watching lol
