Cold Turkey... Umm... Cold Monkey...?

Sometimes, you just have to read it for yourself in order to believe it.

[[ The handlers of a smoking chimpanzee in a zoo in northwest China are trying to get her to kick the habit.

The 26-year-old female chimpanzee has been smoking for 15 years. Her mate died recently, which caused her to smoke even more.

Now, the chimp's keepers are worried about her health as a result of her intense smoking. So, they're trying to give her milk instead of cigarettes.

She started smoking years ago by picking up butts from tourists.

Having been through this myself, I can tell you that the monkey is in for a rough go of it... but it definitely can be done and is worth it.

"The Smoking Monkey" ... hmmm... that will be a good title for my next novel. It sells!

So, what this ariticle is saying is that the monkey has a monkey on his back...?

I guess it's a good thing no one ever dropped a roach...

The Junkie Monkey! LOL


I wonder if the Chinese are going to give the monkey health care benefits for anti-addiction treatment. In this country, of course, PETA would insist on it.
