A funny at finals time

So, I have been way busy studying for finals. But while surfing during a well-deserved study break after reviewing the Mergers and Acquisitions portion of my BE notes, I ran across this hilarious story.

Excerpt:

Court Reprimands New Delhi Over Monkeys

NEW DELHI - A top court reprimanded authorities in the Indian capital for failing to stop hundreds of monkeys from terrifying residents, news reports said Thursday. As forest cover around New Delhi has shrunk, the city has struggled with a growing simian population. Government buildings, temples and many residential neighborhoods are overrun by hundreds of Rhesus macaques. The animals will occasionally snatch food from unsuspecting passers-by and even bite them. "If you can't control the monkeys, what can you do?" the Delhi High Court acerbically asked representatives of the various municipal authorities in a ruling responding to a petition filed by the harassed residents of a posh residential neighborhood. The court asked authorities to explain "what measures were being formulated to find a permanent solution to the monkey menace in the capital."

City authorities weren't immediately available for comment.

"If you can't control the monkeys, what can you do?" Where have I heard that before? Perhaps it ties in with the illegal immigration crisis in the U.S.A. Not to call the people from Mexico a derisive name, the principle is the same. The blame goes to the anti-sovereignty globalists in federal office. They can't control anything. It's really the politicos who are the monkeys. Thank you for letting me rant.
