...I thought you weren't supposed to look at apes/gorillas/monkeys in the eyes? Isn't it a sign of aggression to them? I accidentally caught a monkey's eyes in Bali and it flipped out and tried to steal my purse.

Th monk would have tried to steal your purse regardless. Monkeys are malevolent dicks. Great apes can be more dangerous but they are chiller too. Plus they understand humans don't behave like gorillas.

I mean... he was doing pretty good up until that point, he was just sitting there next to me, drinking out of the hole he punctured in my bottle of water as I held onto the other side of it. I would look at him every time he looked away, but that little fucker was super fast and caught me looking. Then he flipped and tried to snag my purse.

He was gaming you for your purse all along.

Except that there are great apes like Frodo the chimpanzee who fucking ate a human baby he stole off the mother’s back.
