Heroes

They sent a monkey into space in a spaceship especially equipped with a banana dispenser. His fly-boy buddies knew him as Junior, and as he risked his life for you and me, and all of "mankind", all he ever asked for, was a banana. Junior flew dangerous rescue missions every day in a McDonnell Douglas Tailbiter "Tin Cup" helicopter throughout the Vietnam war.

His father Rex, Sr., was a fighter pilot in World War II.. Rex, Sr. was good pals with, and was in the same fighter squadron as, President George Bush, Sr. Their was a lot of bigotry towards simians in the military back then. That systemic abuse lingered on until Bush "One", enacted the first pro-monkey military legislation. In fact, every military aircraft today comes with a banana dispenser as standard equiptment.
