Just one more thought for the night, dedicated to my good friend and inspiration, JoAnne.
Quote from Nature Magazine: On the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts, some vervet monkeys have developed an taste for tropical drinks. About one monkey in seven here prefers a spiked drink to pure fruit juice. Some researchers speculate that a taste for alcohol may give monkeys a survival advantage. The alcohol in slightly fermented fruit kills off disease organisms.

Don't worry JoAnne, the monkeys here are always working very hard to keep themselves free of diseases. I'll let you know if I catch one trying to swing home post-binder.
I passed!!!
