In the “It Couldn’t Happen To A Nicer Politician” department today, the President of Zambia has banished scores of monkeys from the grounds of his official residence after one urinated on his head during a press conference.

More than 200 monkeys live on the State House grounds, but Leader Rupiah Banda has asked that the majority be relocated to parkland outside the capital, Lusaka.  So far, 61 have been removed and relocated by the Munda Wunga Botanic Trust.

This isn’t the first time that something like this has happened. Earlier this summer one of the monkeys had urinated on the President’s jacket during a press conference whilst he was talking with the country’s main opposition leader, Michael Sata.

Gibraltar’s local macaque population would be advised to take note of the repercussions to avoid something similar happening to them on the Rock The delightful  thought of a monkey pissing all over Chief Minister Peter Caruana is only tempered by the worry that he might be on fire at the time and it would be extinguished.
