I had a coworker taken by police one time.

Found buck naked on top of a female coworker's desk, playing with his monkey.

They had to take the desk out to get cleaned, or burned. Can't remember which.

I'm choosing to believe it's a movie quote.

Like this one: "It's got electrolytes. It's what plants crave."
