Monkeys 'mock women'
A troop of monkeys have reportedly taken to harassing and mocking women in a village in Kenya.
The vervet monkeys are reportedly destroying crops and causing a food crisis in the village of Nachu, reports the BBC.
Local MP Paul Muite urged the Kenyan Wildlife Service to help contain their aggressive behaviour.
But he caused laughter when he told parliament the monkeys were harassing and mocking local women.
Women have borne the brunt of the problem as they are primarily responsible for the farms and guard the crops.
But the monkeys are only afraid of young men and throw stones at the women and chase them from the farms.
Nachu's women have even tried wearing their husbands' clothes in an attempt to trick the monkeys into thinking they are men - but without success.
"When we come to chase the monkeys away, we are dressed in trousers and hats, so that we look like men," said resident Lucy Njeri.
"But the monkeys can tell the difference and they don't run away from us and point at our breasts. They just ignore us and continue to steal the crops."

I really don't have a joke for this story.....
Some of my old friends had the habit of pointing out women's breasts and ignoring them.
