Yep, I was in Ubud (at a sanctuary? Can’t remember) and I remember there were signs saying don’t feed or even take things out of your bag while around the monkeys. Sure enough I saw a tourist couple, I think they were French, take some food out of their bag and bam! a monkey came down, grabbed the food and angrily tried to take the bag as well. Well, it looked angry/ferocious to me. The man managed to wrestle the bag away but the couple looked shook up as they tried to play it off with nervous laughter. I hope they learned a lesson.

I’d like to nominate this small gem, coming to us from Florida (because of course):

Man wears thong as mask

A passenger was forced to disembark a flight in Florida because he insisted that wearing a red thong as a mask complied with COVID-19 regulations, local media said on Thursday. Adam Jenne, 38, was asked to leave the aircraft before it took off from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. He told local news channel NBC2 that he wanted to show the “absurdity” of forcing passengers to wear masks on planes while allowing them to be removed to eat and drink. Video of Wednesday’s incident, filmed by another passenger, showed the crew informing Jenne that he would not be able to stay on board if he kept the thong on his face. After some discussion, he finally left his seat. Jenne said he had worn underwear on his face during previous flights, and told the air crew that “it is a mask, doing its job.”

That’s the only way to fly.

If by “fly,” you mean “escorted off the plane,” I guess you are right! :rofl:

I wonder why though since cloth masks are accepted in the US.

He didn’t kiss the ring.
