      A man was passing a pet shop when he saw a talking monkey advertised for sale. He was so impressed by its vocabulary that he bought it on the spot.
      
      That evening he took it to his local bar and bet everyone $10 that the monkey could talk. A dozen people accepted the challenge but, despite his new owner's coaxing, the monkey refused to say a word and the man had to pay up. When he got it home, the man was puzzled to hear the monkey chatting away merrily.
      
      The next evening, the man returned to the bar and bet everyone $20 that the monkey could talk. Again there were plenty of takers but, to the man's anger, the monkey remained silent. After paying up, the man took the monkey's outside.
      
      "I'm taking you back to the shop," he stormed. "You're a complete waste of money!"
      
      "Chill out," said the monkey. "Think of the odds we'll get tomorrow."
