  1. Don’t think about it too much
  2. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
  3. Keep plenty of bananas on hand
    1. The fruit of the banana is a quick pick-me-up when you’re feeling low about doing the job of a monkey
    2. The peel of the banana is good for comedic relief.  Try throwing the skin down in the break room next time your boss comes through and isn’t paying attention, just to see what happens (hint: you might not have to come to work tomorrow)
  4. Keep a careful watch out for energetic young workers who get hired to do the same job and begin to secretly train them on rules 1-3
  5. Remember, if no one tries too hard, then everyone looks good

      2. Lol, like foregoing bonuses for “fruit buddies” this year. Trust me, I was thrilled to get a zippered pouch to hold an apple over extra $$$.

  2. Sunshine, you forgot the funnest thing that monkeys do: social grooming. Picking bugs out of each other’s fur and munching on them is a great activity. Our form of this is picking lint off a coworker’s shoulder and flicking it away. My comment doesn’t have too much to do with your listing. I couldn’t resist adding this comment.
