For Lack of Monkey

Connor was told, last night, to pick up the hangars in his closet. He did:

I made a joke about selling it as modern art. Connor was confused as to why someone would buy something like that, and Stephanie and I explained about some of the modern "art" that has been sold for large amounts of money. In the course of this discussion, I explained about Jackson Pollack's paintings, and about how someone once, to prove a point, gave paint cans to a couple of monkeys and put them near a canvas (they were chimpanzees, actually, but close enough) and then forged Pollack's signature on it and sold the painting for a large amount of money.

STEPHANIE: Geez! Why didn't we do that?
CONNOR: We don't have any monkeys.
