“One of the monkeys got loose at one of the fairs and ended up underneath someone’s car hood and they drove to the next town quite a ways, at least hours. And he pulled over and lifted his hood, and the monkey jumped out, so they called the police, then he spent the night in jail. The police called, they put two and two together, and called Bingo to come and his monkey was in jail.”
