    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man had a pet monkey, and it was always up to tricks. One morning as the man was shaving the man let on to cut his throat with the side of the razor. The monkey saw him do this and when the man went away, the monkey tried it and cut his throat. When the man went out every morning he find his blades all broken after the monkeys death.
