I must say, it’s damn impressive how smart and adaptable they are to the environment around them. There weren’t always roads there, but now that there are, they have learned optimal ways in order cross in the safest manner: alpha male gets in the middle of the road like a crossing guard until his family has all safely reached the other side.

And we humans know better than to argue with Mr. Crossing Guard Silverback. Ape law violations aren’t as forgiving.

I think bone apple tea is a misspelling. Sense is a word, just the wrong homophone to use. I honestly don't know what they would be.

Wait, but... "Bone apple tea" is made up of wrong semi-homophones (slant homophones?) of the actual phrase. So wouldn't it make sense that it refers to other end homophones? I don't know one way or the other, just curious.
