Before Cell Phones a Barrel of Monkeys were a lot more fun

Eww, actual conversation… who does that anymore?
(joke)

Had the red barrel of monkeys when I was 5/6 and would spend a LOT of time seeing how many I could link together without touchings more than the one I was holding.

Wow! Sounds like a great toy. Amazingly, it was inspired by the saying, "That was more fun than a barrel of monkeys."
