Got a call last night from an individual identifying himself as a
perpetual monkey machine who was conducting a test of the emergency simian
system.  He stated that to complete the test I should yank on my ears,
poke myself in the eyes, and punch my self in the, well you know.  
Luckily, I was suspicious and refused.

Upon contacting the orangutan department, I was informed that by yanking
on my ears, poking myself in the eyes, and punching myself in the *cough*
you give the requesting individual full access to your chimp o matic
emergency line which allows them to send illegal monkey eggs to your home
via carrier goat.

I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many of
the local jails/prisons.  I have also verified this information with the
National Order of Apes, the Underwear Thieves of America, the Gorilla
Jihad Coalition, the Goat Packers Union, and the Federal Baboon
Commission.  Please beware. DO NOT press monkeys for ANYONE.  The
Madagascar Lemur Foundation requested that I share this information with
EVERYONE I KNOW.  PLEASE pass this onto everyone YOU know.
