I'm outta touch! Had no idea.
The next time the monkey slapped the dog, they watched the chase to the pole as usual but this time the monkey slipped straight down with a bang, and the pitbull bit the fucker on the back of the neck, held it down and proceeded to assfuck the life out of that monkey.
The monkey never slapped the dog again.
I don’t know enough about ?love to be sure if his personality is different when on or off camera.
That's some of the realest shit I've ever read! So many relevant strut emojis!
Freal doe.
My uncle told me about it when he was in the Korean war. The chimps (or whatever the local species were) were known for their voracious appetite for tobacco which they acquired from the troops who I guess enjoyed the company of chainsmoking monkeys.
However, the monkeys often raided the tents looking for more 'baccy and the troops (who, because of the heat, used to sleep naked) were advised in no uncertain terms not to confront a raiding chimp as the consequences were indeed as Frank described.
Oof.
FFWD to a few years back when I was out in Gibraltar and had one of the locals jump on my back out of nowhere.

Ain’t no chimps in korea. You dad was talking about prostitutes* but wanted to protect you from the truth!
*im not saying your father partook in that particular economy, but they were everywhere so it’s not like he wouldn’t have seen one either
Uncle! My dad was in the RAF but wasn't overseas, fortunately.
I stand corrected. Uncles do be loving those prostitutes.

One stormy day during the Napoleonic Wars, a French ship was wrecked off the coast of an old fishing village clinging to the north-east coast of England.
The only survivor was the ship's mascot, a monkey that was washed ashore.
The people of Hartlepool had never seen a monkey before - nor, for that matter, had they ever set eyes on a Frenchman.
Mistaking its chattering for the language of the enemy, they convicted the monkey of being a French spy and hanged the animal on the beach.
Or so the story goes.
A much less funny story is how that pitbull mauled Sly's infant son, Sly lost custody and the dog was put down.
