Monkeys Typing Shakespeare

I recently traveled to New Jersey to try to locate a few of our monkeys. As you may recall, we’ve only been able to recover a few of the 100 monkeys that worked for the SIMI Project before we went on hiatus. The institute was doing some work for a huge pharmaceutical company so, naturally, we figured some of our monkeys may be working in “big pharma.”

After flying in to Newark via the Sunday red-eye (Okay, my eyes were only red from crying. Yes, yes… I made the mistake of watching Cool Runnings on my laptop again. The ending gets me every time), I stopped at the Dollar car rental to pick up my wheels. It turns out that I had to rent an entire car. Lame.

The clerk (associate?) handed me my keys and walked out to the car. Then I looked at the keys:

Why, yes, that is a locked key ring with two identical alarm remotes and two identical keys. Why do you ask? It then occurred to me. I was looking in the wrong place for my missing monkeys! After enquiring as to who may have put together my key ring, I found Milton! Sometimes serendipity just finds you (but usually when it’s looking for someone else).
