You expect to see something a little strange from time to time while traveling through Asia, but one establishment has something to really shock you.
Kayabuki, a Japanese tavern in Utsunomiya, recently employed 2 Macaques monkeys to act as waiters. Fuku is 12 years-old and Yat is a young 4 years of age and both seem to enjoy their new work.
Kaoru Otsuka, owner of the tavern, says the 2 monkeys are their household pets, but one day he noticed one of them mimicking a waiter by giving the customer a hot towel in the restaurant.
Mr. Otsuka thought it would be an interesting idea to have them actually serve the customers.
Both monkeys works 2 hours a day, serving drinks and handing customer hot towels.
They don’t seem to mind the work and are happy to do it in exchange for some Edamame (soybeans) from the customers as tip.
The monkey waiters have done such a good job and brought so much business to the restaurant, Mr. Otsuka admits they’re better than his real son at the job.

Case in point, how come your parents didn't teach you how to write? Correct form: "I want to know how come all of you out there can teach a monkey how to play piano but can't teach your kids how to read and write. Because kids these days need their education."
No offense, I don't really care if people use correct grammar or spelling, its just really stupid to say people need to educate their kids in reading and writing when you can't even write.

Haha, I know I'm late to this conversation, but this is either the best joke or a complete travesty. But it's sooooo bad, that I have to think Tiara is joking. Good one Tiara 🙂
