In other words (in bold), Monkeys have been taught to use money And now \u2026 lets put up the million $$ question (also in bold &#8230; but bigger &#8230; and naah .. i don&#8217;t do colors) \u2026 WHY THE BLOODY ****???? To think of a few implications which might come about as a direct result of the work by these scientists (who BTW I think, have very little to do &#8230; but for that decent bout of funding) So here goes: a) New segments for monkey classified advts. will kick off in our local newspapers and magazines (with mandatory hints of Financial and PR benefits). [note: PR = Primate Resource] Manpower sourcing agencies and firms will start re-branding on Primate terminologies. World bodies and related standards bodies will commence readdressing the acronyms already in place. Systems all over the globe will rework on code and commence the system procedures for primate standards and processes. b) We now have the option of sending our pet monkey to do our bargaining c) As we get older and sulkier, we can blame all the economic ills in the country to the addition of primates into shareholder positions. d) Estate rates will not be affected (at least in Mumbai) e) Lumber may cost more (we\u2019ll have to pay monkeys a premium for cutting down their houses and eventually give them concrete homes) f) Estate rates will still not be affected g) Monkeys will aim to hold top financial positions and will start applying for CA exams [and come good before Bird (ouch) \u2026 sorry Bird \u2026 but I had to put this you lazy oaf] h) A new ip addressing unit\/prototype (Ipv-primate1) will enable monkeys to host websites with custom defined protocols. A select few will venture into Internet businesses. In no time we will have the first of many monkey billionaires (with ventures like Primart.com, eBaboon.com, EmpireState.com (Amazon.com has been annexed by us, it\u2019s only natural for them to return that act). i) Estate rates \u2026 yes \u2026 you guessed it j) And no more funny comments on Mariah Carey, Altaf Raja and our all time favorite, Bappi da Add some more to this list \u2026 we might just face this scenario in our lifetime We\u2019ll never know who\u2019ll &#8220;not&#8221; sanction our next home, car, artillery distribution centre loan (or well &#8230; maybe not!!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
