Okay, people do dumb things, even in a warzone. The great thing about the military, is the story gets so twisted as it winds around that you can totally lose what really happened.
FACT: Two contractors got caught by the MPs smoking weed on the roof of their barrakcs (dumb).
FACT: After apprehension, their room was searched by the MPs. The MPs found that these two had a pet monkey in their room (bizarre).
So, just to make this tasty little tidbit kinda fun, two of my guys were relaying to the story to...... let's call him R.
"Hey R, did you hear that the MPs found a monkey in a couple of guys' room? Yeah, they waterboarded the monkey and he talked. He gave away that his owners were smoking weed on the roof. Man, when it comes to monkeys, the MPs aren't messing around!"
R lost his freakin' noodle that he just heard that the MPs waterboarded the monkey. He started going on and on about that poor monkey. My guys kept empahasizing, "Yeah, they got the monkey to TALK, R TALK." R was not hearing it.
They finally had to explain to him that:
1) They were joking, and here were the real facts of what happened
2) Monkeys don't talk, no matter if you waterboard them or not.
All in all, that makes for a fairly bizarre afternoon.
