There was a little old lady with a pair of pet monkeys who loved each
other very much. The female monkey died, and the male monkey mourned,
refusing to eat or drink until he, too, died. The little old lady took
both monkeys to the local taxidermist and asked that they be stuffed so
they could always be together. The taxidermist said "Oh, you want them
mounted." and the little old lady replied "No, holding hands is OK".
