Monkey's with weapons

This came up in a coversation at work today.....so I'll tell the story here.

When I was in the Army (US) I was on deployment to Panama. We were doing a live-fire exercise and were tossing grenades to blow things up. It was my teams turn and we toss'd a grenade which didn't blow. EOD (bomb dudes) came out to find the grenade but could not. About 10 minutes later a HUGE explosion went off in the jungle. We investigated it....

It seems.....some of the local spider monkeys decided to pick the grenade up (spoon still in-tact) and walk-off with it. At some point in time while playing with their new "toy" the spoon charged and BOOM!!!.....monkey arse and banana peels EVERYWHERE.

I once stayed for 5 weeks on the island of Benbecula, in the Outer Hebrides - as remote a place as you will ever see - for live missile-firing execise.

It's a place where the locals still heat thier homes with peat from the bogs; the island has a single-track road and a pub which boasts the world's largest selection of malt whiskeys. A few of us went there and i, unsure if i would like any of the outlandish-sounding malts there, asked for the very common 'Glenfidik'. His reply was, "Sorry mate, we have none of that."

Also whilst there a friend and i had a bet with the Seargent Major. He bet us £50 that by the end of the stay we couldn't get hold of a coconut on this cold and wind-swept island in the middle of the North Sea.

We later found out that he'd won similar bets on the other occassions he'd stayed there, because the fact is that there are simply no coconuts to be had on the island.

Two weeks into our stay, and resigned to the fate that we'd lost our bet, we again visited the pub with the most malt whiskeys in the world (which still had no Glenfidik.) We got talking to some Norweigan fisherman staying on the island for the night, and who spoke reasonable English.

We explained to them about our bet, and wondered if perhaps they could get hold of a coconut for us on their travels. They said they would try, but expressed doubt about it. Also, they weren't sure if they would be back on the island before we went home.

So we were not very hopeful.

The day before we went home, we visited the pub (still with no Glenfidik.) To our amazement the fishermen were there and they presented us with two coconuts.

In the morning we took them to the Seargent major. His response:

He turned red in the face, and shouted: "You f***ing bastards!"

Certain of his win, £50 was the most he'd ever bet...
