Start with a cage containing five monkeys.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kettering.edu/~jhuggins/humor/banana.html"><P>
Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs
under it.  Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to
climb towards the banana.  As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all
of the other monkeys with cold water.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kettering.edu/~jhuggins/humor/banana.html"><P>
After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result -
all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water.  Pretty soon, when
another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try
to
prevent it.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kettering.edu/~jhuggins/humor/banana.html"><P>
Now, put away the cold water.  Remove one monkey from the cage and
replace it with a new one.  The new monkey sees the banana and wants
to
climb the stairs.  To his surprise and horror, all of the other
monkeys
attack him.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kettering.edu/~jhuggins/humor/banana.html"><P>
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb
the
stairs, he will be assaulted.
