The time of chimpanzees

ParisDid Count Paris attack Romeo (and die) for killing Tybalt (for killing Mercutio) because Tybalt was his friend, or was it because he really loved Juliet and wanted to marry her? Is this the same Prince Paris (suckled by a she-bear) that eloped with the previously married (thousand ships) Helen causing 1) a (trojan) war, 2) the death of "voice of reason" brother Hector, and 3) after his own death, the gruesome dismemberment of his other brother who also married Helen? (I guess the prettiest girl in the world gets around.) Paris shoots Achilles in the back (of the foot) for killing Hector which might be considered cowardly if Achilles hadn't set the tone by coating himself in the invincible aegis of the gods (getting crazy with the cheez whiz).

Men kill each other for the love of a woman, but of course this is just the revisionist version. What other version exists? But isn't that always the animus modus operandi? Blame everything on a woman. So maybe in a thousand years, an Indochine princess named Marilyn Monroe (MyLaiLyn NgongRoe) will be the reason Emperor Kennedy sent his thousand bomb army into the French Cochin. After millions die for their love, through some contrived misunderstanding the princess marries Edgar Linton and the spurned Emperor (after marrying the princess's sister-in-law) languishes in self-pity making everyone miserable until he destroys the princess and inherits Thrushcross Grange only to be assassinated by his own (marksman) ego. Then a Polish Jew ends up killing his ego in a bar fight. You've probably all heard this version from Scheherazade, but I think she added the evil Jewish guy to appeal to her demo. Soy un perdedor.

I was a monkey.
