I've always said what's the point in having a monkey if ya can't dress him up funny.

Oh wait... I say that about kids.

4. Wonder if a particular color will become higher status
Before the dye washes out, that is. Normally those guys are a pretty plain-looking tan color.

7. wouldn't YOU be?
I wonder if it's like a salon, where they had to sit there for a long time while a "colorist" gets 'em just right.

Or do they dunk 'em like Easter Eggs?

9. Unless they gave them all long-lasting tranquilizers
I bet they dunked them in some sort of food-coloring type stuff, or used some sort of really fast-setting goop. Monkeys aren't real big fans of sitting still, and their teeth are pretty sharp!

12. Hey, I've taken pictures of howler monkeys in Costa Rica.
Know what they do when they get pissed? They poo in their hand and throw it at you (didn't happen to me...I was nice to the monkeys).

Yep, I'm pretty sure these monkeys do the poo-missiles too...just couldn't figure out how to work it into the post! :-)

10. I love it!

Orange is embarrassed by the kid thats laughing at them.
Red is contemplating escape, he's thought of nothing else since they dyed him.
Yellow is whispering to Pink, "His roots are showing, he really has let himself go."
Pink is about to throw something at the kid thats laughing at Orange.
