    I've heard of the Three Wise Monkeys

    Seated, hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil.

    I have four, standing, the fourth is holding his crotch.

    poorly cast brass.

    Any ideas.

    Do no evil ??:rolleyes:

    Never seen before but... I'd think it was an inexpensive novelty item that came out of India in the not-so-distant past.

    Tons of these Three Wise Monkeys + One around the internet. (All of better quality.) Who knew?

    I have one of these, wood carved, then mold made, then resin cast. There are other variations too.

    I'd say, covering one's package is always a *wise* move.

    The fourth monkey, (Do no evil) has been around for a few years but I don't know when it came into existence. He fits in nicely.

    Ahem. Just think of all the parents who, heretofore, have been spared awkward explanations...

    We're having bad weather today with more to come so please forgive my lack of decorum on this forum. I think the fourth "animal" is saying "Pee no evil"-- :shame: x 10
