Dance Like a Monkey, But Don't Smoke One

I saw the above cartoon in a blog post at Riotfish when it came through in a feed at the 'Sync the Secret Sun & the Secret Moon' blog-feed.
I have to admit that I don't get what it's about, apart from monkey dancing, but what I find amusing about the cartoon was that it came through my feed as I was reading a book titled, 'Smoking Monkeys, Drilling Rigs, Bio-Diesel Bikes and Other Stories' by a guy I met in Byron Bay at a writers festival years ago when I bought his book and he signed it for me.

It's actually three books in one and is a little less than 600 pages long, so I have always tended to put off reading it because it's almost like a mini phonebook to hold and I've always had the fear that it could be just as boring as reading a phonebook, too.

I saw the book sitting on my shelf at Christmastime and thought that I really should read that book soon, or I never will, so I promised myself to start reading it before the Year of the Monkey finished, because of the "Smoking Monkey" in the title of the book.
I had just read about how Paul had smoked his pet monkey in the front section of the book, which he retells in the video below, when I read the Riotfish guys 'Dance Like  a Monkey' cartoon ... and I thought after reading about Paul's pet monkey that there are worse things that monkeys can do besides dancing;-)

Paul's book is pretty funny, freaky and makes you think ... how glad you are not to be Paul and especially some of the other people Paul mentions in his book/s.
I actually can't put the book down, and with the book being so heavy I imagine my biceps should look pretty good when I do finish reading Paul's book.

Dance monkey dance.
