Monkey

During my career as a deputy, I saw some, shall we say, interesting things. One particular night I was dispatched to take a non injury accident report. I was to meet the reporting party in front of the bank in a small city in my County.

I arrived at the bank and spoke with the lady driving the car and asked if she was OK and she said she was not injured. I asked what had happened and she said that she was on her way home and a deer was in the road and she swerved to miss it. When she did, she hit a highway pole on the passenger side of her car. I got all of the needed information, from her for my accident report, drivers license information, vehicle registration and her insurance information. I then completed the report. I then took out my camera and began taking pictures of the vehicle and also took pictures of the damaged area of the vehicle. While I was taking pictures, out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving and a small hairy hand and arm appeared in the passenger window. I shined my flashlight in the window and saw a very small creature that was covered in dark hair.

The words that came out of my mouth can never be taken back no matter what I do. Without missing a beat I looked at the lady and said. "Hey lady, where did you get the little monkey?" WRONG THING TO SAY!!!!

The lady immediately burst into tears and said that's not a monkey, thats my baby.

Luckily I managed to snap a picture of the kid with my accident photos. Because she complained about me and my rude statements of her child. When I was called in for my counseling session, I showed the photos to my Sheriff and he said that maybe I should have asked her. Now who is this handsome little guy. I laughed and said with my luck it would have been a girl.
