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"
