Happy New Year Twenty-Ten
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Frederick,
Without wanting to take anything away from this talented inventor, may I
point out that the best and fastest coconut tree climbing devices are trained
monkeys? They are used in some of the South East Asian islands and do an
extraordinary job. I saw a documentary on this a couple of years ago, but can
give you no other details. Perhaps you with your skills can ferret it out?
We already have enough monkeys in our gardens, raiding fruit from our
trees and breaking our tiles; perhaps if they learned to pluck our coconuts for
us they would earn their keep. Unless, of course, they then begin to hurl
coconuts on to our rooftops...
Regards,
Victor
