Get your filthy paws off of me, you damned dirty apes!RUTHERFORD COLLEGE, N.C. -- A woman tried to pet a customer's monkey when it latched onto her face and scratched her.
Brooke Ross was working at the Family Food Mart in Rutherford College, N.C., on Sunday when a man walked up to the counter with a monkey on his shoulder. It hopped down onto the counter and Ross, who said she thought the 18-inch-tall animal was cute, reached to pet him.
In the blink of an eye the monkey attacked, biting her cheek just below her right eye.
Burke County Animal Control officers spent several hours early Tuesday trying to track down the monkey. They showed Ross photographs of pets in the county and she was able to pick out the offender. (H/T - NBC10)
A monkey lineup. And I thought I had seen it all. The moral of this story is to never touch someone else's monkey. You don't know where it's been.
