It is correct. I’ve been corrected on this before and did the research to discover I was wrong. Humans are Monkeys.

OOP doesn’t get it, nor does anyone who finds this clever.
Struck a nerve, huh?
It’s like writing a joke based on the premise that exercise makes you gain weight. It doesn’t, so any joke based on that is going to fall flat, except for people who think it does, lol.
You must be so fucking fun at parties.
I am, because my jokes are actually good, since I know how to actually construct a good joke, lol.
