Nothing calms one down like a spastic spider monkey.
Commenters think it’s icky for a monkey to wear a diaper.
Monkeys wearing diapers doesn’t seem very hygienic for them. With the hair and all.

Imagine changing a monkey's diaper.

Disgusting.
We’re sure some former Biden White House staffers have some tips.
We wonder if this monkey is the same one in this truck driver video from Louisiana. (WATCH)

We had some diseased monkeys escape an overturned truck on Tuesday, too. Sure is a lot of money business going on this week!
