After years of practice, some individual monkeys and apes are expert at removing windshield wipers, mirrors and other projecting pieces of motor vehicle.
Those showing such promise could be trained up to remove light assemblies, windshields, bumpers, air filters etc. and gainfully employed in car
wrecking yards.

Absolutely no relation to the link to the twenty-minute old monkey idea? |
|
| |
No. This idea has been brewing in me for a few days as "Monkey Demolition Team" where a human crew screwed car mirrors and windshield wipers all over a structure to be demolished and then trucked in a bus of Safari Park monkeys who would proceed to rip the structure to shreds. It was posted before I read the monkey soldier idea that you linked. {edit - on reflection, I'm not sure about that statement - in any event I thought that the monkey soldier idea was animal abuse and unrelated to my idea} I do not echo and regard derivitave ideas with some disdain. |

Ok...the charge of echoing is withdrawn, but I'll leave the record stand. |

A well trained monkey would probably be more cooperative than the junk yard personel I've dealt with in the past. |
|
| |
And they would work for...(insert fruit, vegetable, or legume of choice here). |
|
| |
Thank you [normzone] ..and if you had a couple of large baboons, the Junk Yard Dog could also be retired. |
|

Being ex-safari park inmates, these chaps would probably prefer to be paid in popcorn, fairy floss, gnu kibble and child's hair ornaments. |
|
| |
can we pay them in bananas or do they want cash? |
|
| |
Gone from champagne to white wine, but if we can reschedule, I'll join you on another occasion. What kind of whiskey? |

From "Every which way you can". |

There are parrots in New Zealand that I understand would augment the monkey staff most productively. |
|
| |
We humans sure seem to love our monkeys, and windmills...there's gotta be a great idea in there somewhere. |
