Unfriggin' believable. If you go to www.youloveit.com and the 'for sale' section there's a guy selling two pet monkeys he has had for 2.5 years. They are three year old monkeys, each weighing about ten pounds. He only wants a minimal price and good owners.

I think you need two monkeys!

It's probably a joke, but you know it wouldn't surprise me if it were true though. Could you tell if this was a native speaker or Korean? If you watch the animal tv show that is on Sunday morning (I forget which channel) you'll see Koreans with raccoons and all kinds of other pets. I guess it's easier to keep wild animals as pets here in Korea. In some parts of the US it is actually illegal to have them as pets.

What's the "minimal price", and can I eat them?

Click above link and you'll go right to the ad. I dunno how much he wants for the two monkeys. It's just bizarre. I once saw a monkey about the same size on sale at Dongdaemun pet street for 1.5 million won and that was six years ago. Monkeys!

Is this all you got to do on National Foundation Day?

Offer you monkeys? Why yes. I can tell you're thinking about it, how much better your life would be with monkeys.

So what happens when the monkey misbehaves? Do you really have to spank it?
