I've worked with a few of those guys. Smelly and inaccurate, not a one of 'em could tell time - I always figured that's why they were hired, they don't understand overtime and they work for peanuts.

Anyway this story as a good an explanation as any as to why there are to this day wild monkey herds carrying nuggets roaming around the jungles of South Carolina.
