A police officer arrives at the scene of a traffic accident - two zookeepers, transporting a monkey from one zoo to another. By the time the officer arrives, both of the keepers - unconscious - are loaded into an ambulance. Frustrated, the officer turns towards the monkey, perched on the hood of the car amid all the chaos.
"If only you could tell me what was going on," the officer quipped... at which, the monkey began to nod enthusiastically.
"What, you can understand me?" The monkey nodded again.
"Well, what happened?" The monkey pantomimed taking a swig from a bottle. "They were drinking?" the officer asked, horrified. The monkey nodded. Then, it mimed taking a puff from a cigarette. "And smoking?" the officer asked. The monkey nodded again. Then, it made a series of obscene gestures. "And... that?" the astonished officer asked. Again, the monkey nodded.
"Okay," said the officer, scribbling into his notepad. "So the keepers were drinking, smoking, and.. doing other things in the car. And what were you doing during all of this?"
The monkey mimed handling a steering wheel. "Driving."
