Retired Lab Monkeys

[4T5GUY]

I absolutely hate Lab. I'm very good at it but I hate Lab. I don't have to be in there everyday anymore but sometimes it's a day or more in a row.

I need to keep moving and I can't stand doing something and then waiting to do something else to it. Every time I have "to do" Lab I feel like I'm being penalized, and not the good penalization. (Depending how you pronounce the word.)

So once I read about all these retired lab monkeys needing a forever home I got an idea. It makes sense that when/if you retire in a specific field you must have experience in that field.

Why not get a retired Lab monkey for the Lab? Many of the retired Lab monkeys looked very scary but I found one that looked like he'd fit in. Of course it was just another stupid idea that I came up with according to my "boss".

Not a monkey. Chimps are apes. And are quite dangerous, not that monkeys aren't, too.

I believe that retired lab apes can apply for US Govt. jobs. I've encountered some in various bureaucracies.

Seriously, many have awful mental problems. I suspect that most are destroyed. Some may go to rescue centers, but I doubt they ever become normal or suitable for zoos or as pets.

Your post is a joke, right?

Fortunately for them there is a burgeoning field in Tech Support.

I knew it was coming, and it was still funny when it did!

Especially the very end.

I think those soldiers were abusing controlled substances at the time this was made.

Is this OP maybe a psychology student instead of a lab tech, wanting to see how many posts such a topic might get? And what sort? Just a wild guess...

Gosh, I've been retired now 32 tears. Never thought about having a monkey.....................Nope.

Brought a story to mind from back in the 70's. Was stationed in Otero county where there was a rail track that allowed a container to de fired down the track for a mile or so. They were testing g forces using chimps instead of humans. Had about a hundred chimps there on sight. Happened to be there on morning by invitation. They were about to strap in a chimp dressed in a kind of space suit prior to sending it down the track. I commented that the chimp was taking these preparations very well. My friend said, "Yeah. It's his first trip. Next time it'll take every man here to get him suited up and strapped in!" After I watched that rocket ship on rails blast off, I sympathized with the chimp!

Not funny! Here in Central Washington at the college, we had a primate program. They still offer a couple of degrees. I was thinking about getting a second MS in primate behavior when I retired (COVID put that on hold!). Nearby, in the town of Cle Elum is a primate sanctuary and they are fundraising to get 6 more "retired" chimps re-located there.

When I was an undergrad, I worked in pet stores owned by a vet. I walk over to his office to get some dog vaccinations. The vet on duty drafted me to help give a wooly monkey a shot. We had 6 of us= one with the needle and one on each limb (arm/leg) and one holding the head. The monkey grabbed the needle with his tail and threw it against the wall!
