    @Anna Carr: the brass monkey was actually the plate on which they stacked the canon balls on Royal Navy ships. The reference to freezing the balls off them was when so much ice built up on them that the canon balls would fall of the plate/monkey.

    And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
