He informed me…to tell you…that is very close to the opening paragraph to his unpublished novel.
Carl was working on a title for the book when he got called away to an International Chimpanzee Society meeting. While Carl was out of the country a Capuchin Monkey stole and hid his typewriter.
To this day it is still missing and Carl is in a funk. Plus the Capuchin sits in a tree outside his writing room and laughs all day.

No actions will take place…I calmed him down.
