I feel terrible for how I have abused my coconut monkeys. After reading this post, I realized that they are not for mockery but for love!

A year or two ago, I picked up a bunch of coconut monkeys at an estate sale here in Minnesota and then set them out in my backyard with the idea that maybe the local vandals would think I was doing voodoo on them. Well, I wasn't burglarized that summer, so, I think it worked. But, the dang squirrels hated those coconut monkeys. They would attack them with a mean viciousness unlike anything I have seen since! After a month, all of the coconut monkeys had fallen to those evil squirrels that lived in our attic.

I have one lone coconut monkey that I liberated from a now defunct local bar. I've hidden it from view of any window so that the maniacal squirrels won't see it.
