One of my friends almost got mauled by a monkey the size of a 12 year old when he was in India

If this is true we have to hear the details!

It most certainly is true. Apparently in India the monkey (like the cow) is a sacred animal and these primates seem to have taken advantage of their celebrity status by being everywhere, disease ridden, and general pests.

Well my friend had to heed Mother Nature's call (#2 for those that care) and so he went to the "bathroom" which in the compound (yes they stayed in a compound) he was in was located on the roof of a building. Well he did his business and was getting ready to head back to his room when up from the metal stairs (the only entrence & exit to the facilities) walks a monkey my friend described as being "The size of a 12 year old kid". One would assume that the bond between primates would allow these two strangers to pay each other no mind and just pass each other by.....NOT SO FAST MY FRIENDS.

The monkey gnashed its teeth and acted agitated by my friend's presence. The monkey started his way across the roof towards my friend who explained to me "Had I not JUST taken a shit I would have shat myself right then and there"....well in a panic my friend searched to find something to defend himself with....."ah HA! A piece of metal sheeting, will be my shield!!!" (I typed that with a ton more confidence than he had at the time). Luckily for my friend, there were builders on other nearby buildings that saw what was going on and they came to my friend's aid, hurling tools, rocks, and whatever they could get their hands on at the angry angry monkey. The monkey was driven off by this and my friend was out of danger.


Once he told me this story....the horror of the flashback still showing on his face....I asked...."So these workers....after it was over. Did they laugh at you?"


Answer: "Yes...yes they did"



It's kind of anticlimactic, but I'll be damned if I didn't laugh my ass off as my friend told this story which he described as "The single most horrifying event to ever happen in my life"

We been chased out of a park by heaps of them in Sumatra or Malaysia cant remember.
bought peanuts on the way in from a sign that said " feed the Monkeys" We were all ohhh feed the little monkeys got in there and watching them fight each other to get to us we ran like fuck eventually throwing the whole bag of nuts over our shoulders as we ran. Cunts. Same goes for the sellers of the nuts .

Good for you BBB. I hope all is well out there.

I'm a skinny bastard and too long out here has definitely kept me that way. If I had spent a decade at home I would definitely be 10 pounds heavier.

I had never thought of India as being a great place for food and dining, but I love curry and steaks, so I must be a bit odd.

British pounds are much stronger. 12 Indian ones is probably about 1 real one. easy to shred.

Gheelicious

Geelicious .

At the supermarket.. " ooh "Where did I park my Elephant?"

My mate has an Indian friend who says that in a loud indian accent in car parks whenever someone looks at him funny.

I suppose the Turban and a Pierre Cardin suit is what they are actually staring at.

I have been to India and I agree Food is damn good and delicious..

Well bust your ass a bit and start working out as this will increase if you didn't moved your butt..

Rest enjoy the food as I do miss its spices all the time..
