🐵It’s Monkey Monday 🐵

🐵Get to know the Monkeys!🐵

🐵Meet: Humphrey “The Bruiser”

🐵 Sockupation: Retired prize fighter turned handyman. Had his share of TKO‘s. Now, the only thing he knocks out is a to-do list. 📝

🐵Favorite Hobby: Arm Wrestling - it’s the only time Humphrey believes elbows belong on the table. 😉

🐵Favorite Color: Boxing Glove Red 🥊

🐵Favorite Food: The “Kitchen Sink”Breakfast - eggs, pancakes, hash browns, toast, biscuits, gravy and whatever else fits on the plate.
Humphrey says “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day…that’s why I eat three of ‘em.” 🍳

Humphrey has a strict personal code: “I don’t start fights. I finish ‘em.”

But he’s really a softie, and adds “Be tough when you have to. Be kind whenever you can.”
