Police: Drunk lab tech lowered pants, freed monkeys
A clothed monkey reached for comment had no comment on the unclothed human. But, he did remind folks to watch "Animal Practice" on NBC.
An experiment on primate alcoholism may have gotten out of control recently in Augusta where police found an allegedly intoxicated lab technician with his pants down in a room with uncaged monkeys.
Georgia Health Sciences University lab tech Coley Mitchell, 32, was arrested on charges of public intoxication after a co-worker spotted him partially unclothed in a locker room in the Sanders Research and Education Building last Monday.
The Augusta Chronicle reports Mitchell was seated in a chair with his pants half-down while two monkeys roamed the room freely.
In other area drinking news, a fancy golf club in Augusta is now admitting female members.

Why was his pants down? Was he about to Spank the Monkey?

When I was in Cappuchin Med School we used to play a drinking game that involved sitting in a chair in a lab with your pants down. I am certain that this was part of an approved experiment.

Free all the monkeys!
Use convicts on death row or something for experiments. Not cute little innocent monkeys! Maybe I am just biased because monkeys are my favorite animal after all!
i really don't know...

This reminds me of a scene in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.”
