India’s National Defense Academy complains that it’s frequently harassed by a gang of no-good monkeys:
It says the langur monkeys are disrupting training exercises, attacking cadets, vandalising equipment and ripping up plants … Officials want the monkeys tranquillised, sterilised and released back into the wild … But the tender has angered forestry officials who say the academy’s jungle location gives monkeys the right to roam.

They still give rifles to Indian army cadets, right? This problem could easily solve itself with a little, ahem, target practice. If they get any static from forestry officials, the cadets can just claim the monkeys were found to be enemy combatants fighting for Pakistan. Then instead of getting a rebuke, they’ll be honored with a ticker tape parade. And there you have another problem solved for the better with firearms. When will monkeys learn?
A colleague asked: any relation to the monkey man of 2001?
May I be the first to say.
“Tony! Are you going to the zoo to see the monkeys do it!”
I believe this may be the first “The State” reference on Sepia.
So there are some damn monkeys walking around with AK-47s and army gear.
Well, at least they’ll be prepared if India ever gets in a war with Sri Lanka . . .
Was that a reference to Hanuman and his troops?
Thats hilarious!
And then i woke up with TAPE all over my face!
