Happy birthday Supe. You reminded me of this;
An old lady had two pet monkeys named Cuthbert and Catherine, coincidentally. The two monkeys were very close to each other and were like children to her. Cuthbert and Catherine would go everywhere she went and consequently everybody in town knew her and her monkeys. Everything was fine and the happy family lived together for many, many years until one day Catherine passed away. Cuthbert was devastated and in his grief took his own life hours later. The old lady was very upset to loose both her monkeys so suddenly, but spent the rest of the day trying to think of a fitting tribute to preserve the many fond memories of the time they’d spent together. Finally, late that night she hit on the idea of taking them to the taxidermist to have them stuffed.
Early the next morning she loaded the two little monkey corpses into the car and set off to the taxidermist. Obviously the taxidermist had heard about her loss,
“I’m very sorry to hear about Cuthbert and Catherine, but I guess you’ve decided to have them preserved in just the way you remember them, so I guess you’d like them mounting?”
To which the old lady replied,
“No, just holding hands”
