"Even if I got rid of all my problems, I'd just go out and get new ones..."

Tell me if you don't laugh when you see this.

Okay, so you're disabled. You have problems doing certain tasks, and someone gives you a monkey as hired help.

That's a really cheap cop-out, isn't it? That's like, I care about you, just not enough to actually hire a proper human to help you with daily tasks.

Reminds me of a Popular episode. One of the characters, Harrison, was in hospital with leukemia. To cheer him up, his friends bought him about six hamsters and named them after themselves.

Firstly, bringing in half a dozen diseased creatures into the same room as someone whose immune system is shot? Not a good idea. Secondly... he's got enough trouble looking after his own wellbeing without someone dumping a bundle of dependent animals on top of him.

Still... as for the monkeys... can I *pretend* to be partially abled, just so I can have one? They're so cute!
