        contrary to popular belief, 12 monkeys does in fact contain less than 12 monkeys.

          The real friends are the sexual disease monkeys we meet on the highway.

      Plus, being flung from a cage at highway speeds has been clinically proven to have an agitating effect on monkey dispositions.

    The truck driver said the monkeys were infected, the university they came from said they weren’t, but they do have some monkeys that are, but they weren’t on this semi trailer.

    The truck driver probably knew the university had some infected monkeys, but before saying you “know” something, maybe actually have the facts.

    Hmm, so: “That last monkey, however, remained on the loose as of 2 p.m” AND “Wildlife and Fisheries department to help find the remaining monkeys.”

    I mean, it could be that other, non-COVID/non-herpetic/non-whatever monkeys were also in the truck, but…

      There were also the control monkeys, who only had the standard Motaba virus.

    …bunch of escaped, infected monkeys are roaming the expressway.

    Despite the sweltering heat, don’t unroll your windows…

    'cause those monkeys seem confused and irritable.

    Saw this in my feed and it took a bit to realize that it wasn’t from The Onion. Is there a name for the opposite of Eating the Onion ?

    This headline sounds like the short description of a random ass made for TV horror movie.
