“What do you want?” the bartender asks rather hostile.

“I’d like a big, cold glass of beer please”.

Without another word, the bartender pours him a large beer, slams it on the bar and   returns to the back. All the while the blind piano player is still playing on this old worn down honky-tonk piano.

Then, as the man picks up his glass to have a drink, from behind the bar comes a little monkey, that jumps onto the bar, gets on the edge of the glass and starts washing its balls in the beer.

This goes on for about 5 seconds. The monkey jumps off the glass and disappears behind the bar again.

The guy can hardly believe what just happened and looks around if anybody else saw this, but it’s only him and the blind piano player.

So he walks over to the piano, and says to the guy:

“Do you know there was a monkey on my glass washing his balls in my beer?.”

The pianist stops playing, pauses for a moment and says:

“The lyrics sound familiar, but i can’t remember the melody.”

Be careful not to dilute it too much, you might overdose.

The woman was worried, because her brother was a bit of an idiot. “What did he name them?” she asked.

“He named the girl Denise,” the doctor said.

“Oh, that’s a nice name,” she said in relief. “What did he name the boy?”

“Denephew.”

The first night, the man didn’t sleep a wink due to the ongoing drumming so he spoke to the chief. “Chief, I got no sleep last night. Could you maybe stop the drumming for a night so I could rest.”

The chief replied, “The drums must not stop.”

The man figured it was their culture and focused on enjoying the day, studying and spending time with the tribe.

That night, the drums again kept the man awake for the whole night and in the morning he spoke with the chief.
“Chief, please! I need some sleep; couldn’t the drums cease for just one night for my health?”

The chief replied, “The drums must not stop.”

The man, exacerbated, let the issue drop and tried to focus on the day at hand, but could not focus due to lack of sleep and the incessant pounding of the drums.

That night, the beating of the drums left the man sleepless yet again in the morning he angrily approached the chief.
“Chief, I’ve just about had it. The drums must stop; it is impossible to get and rest with them.”

The chief replied, “The drums must not stop.”

“Why! Why can the drums not stop? What happens when the drums stop?!”

The chief replied, “Bass solo.”

How did an image of a pig — the infamous ’60s-era epithet by protesters for police officers — wind up on a decal used on as many as 30 Vermont State Police cruisers?

State officials Thursday pointed to the failure of the quality assurance office within the Vermont Correctional Industries Print Shop in St. Albans to detect a prisoner-artist’s addition made four years ago to the traditional state police logo. A spot on the shoulder of the cow in the state emblem was modified into a pig.

An investigation has begun into how the computer program was improperly modified to insert the image, Vermont Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito said.

Vermont Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn told the Burlington Free Press Thursday that he became aware of the alteration earlier in the day and has asked Pallito for an explanation.

The story about the pig on the state police emblem was first reported in a copyrighted story on the Burlington Free Press website Thursday afternoon.

State officials attempted to strike a balance between concern over the situation and acknowledgement of the humor involved.

State Senate President Pro Tempore John Campbell, D-Windsor, said he expects people to study the state police cruisers more carefully now.

“It’s going to be ‘Where’s Porky?’ instead of ‘Where’s Waldo?’” said Campbell, who was a police officer in Florida before he became a lawyer.

Major William Sheets, executive officer for the Vermont State Police, said he expects his department also will be more vigilant to inspect ordered items when they arrive.

“It is fair to say the quality control will be improved at the Corrections Department and at the Vermont State Police,” Sheets said.

Pallito said initial indications are that a computer program at the Northwest State Correctional Facility was modified in 2008. In 2009, an order for the 16-inch decals was sent to state police.

He said the corrections employee, who was not named, inspects print work before it leaves the St. Albans prison. He said the person accepting delivery for state police also failed to detect the change.
