"jungle bunnies", not monkeys.

Semantics aside, that is one of favorite scenes in any comedy movie. The way he incredulously shouts "Sir! You are talking to a Nig**r!" makes me lose it every time

The Jerk is in the top 5 of my favorite comedies of all time. I still use lines today (that most people don't get). When asked for id I will say "Here's my drivers license and a copy of my astronaut application form...I didn't pass that though, I failed everything but the date of birth.”
