OK, are you saying a monkey can milk a cow?" Peter Agre: "Well, if I can milk a cow I suspect a monkey as smart as I am can milk a cow." SC: "Are there monkeys as smart as you?" PA: "I'm sure there are quite a few, quite a few. SC: "Oh really? Mmhum. Do they give a Nobel prize for throwing your own feces?" PA: "........That's the Economics prize, I think."
