islands, indicating that there was some kind of psychic communication in the air. Now, how can this living New Age parable be applied to Auman behavior? Well, whatever you do personally to help further the cause of justice and the pursuit of ecstasy, even though you might get discouraged, you must always remember that you might be the one who turns the tide—you have to act as though you are the 100th monkey—and this gives us reason to hope. That’ s the good news. The bad news is, those monkeys needed that dirt in their diet for roughage. So now there were all these monkeys on this island who weren’ t able to shit. But it just so happened that this was one of the islands where we shipped our surplus TV sets. Across the island, monkeys were gathered around those TV sets, all watching a program that was sponsored by Ex- Lax. Moreover, here was that commercial with the sign-language translation. And, fortuitously enough, these monkeys had relatives trained at Stanford University, where they learned how to communicate in sign language, and had been returned to the island to teach others of their species how to sign.
