    OK we have been sitting on this stupid car for 20 minutes now, we were promised bananas.
    If we don't get our bananas, we are all piling in this thing and going to get them ourselves.
    OK which one of you monkeys has a drivers license? Hop in!

    Its North Korean counterpart (if it had one) probably uses monkeys in actual crash tests!

    :DMaybe, if Toyota hired them to do dealer service, they would have "better" quality service that the current ones that work for them.:D

    Reminds me of the scene in "The Omen" when the Baboons attack Damien and Lee Remick in the car.

    But...hey they are getting free publicity just for doing it.
