i've seen monkey poop

Arlington County, Oct. 16. A caller requested that an animal control officer speak with her son, 6, because he was so anxious about her plans to drop lobsters into boiling water for dinner that he took them into his bedroom. The animal control staff person who took the call suggested that she try to calm him by explaining the food chain. If that didn't work, the mother was advised to ask a neighbor to cook them or take the lobsters back to the store.

Intruder Monkeys Around on Porch

Arlington County, Oct. 2. Animal control received a call from a woman who claimed that a monkey had been defecating on her back porch. When asked if she had seen the culprit, she said "No, but I've seen monkey poop and I know that a monkey comes to my back porch." Animal control told her to call back if she saw a monkey.

Every now and then, reading the Washington Post's Animal Watch column pays off.

I am a California spiny lobster, and I consume algae, small sardines and red sea urchins.
