Monkeys in Barrels.


From this article explaining the posible origins of the phrase "More fun than a barrel of monkeys":

Word historian Charles E. Funk wrote: "One monkey arouses a great deal of amusement. Two or more then double the...amusement. If one were to release a barrelful...of monkeys, we must suppose that their antics would become hilariously comical."

Indeed.

I think I might change my last name to "Funk" like that guy. Then after I get my doctorate, I could be "Dr. Funk". Even just plain old "Mr. Funk" would be fine.
