Jack Handey, of Deep Thoughts fame, shares his treatment for My Nature Documentary in the July 2 issue of The New Yorker. Handey begins:

Show monkey in a tree. Narrator says, “The monkey, proud and smart, in his native habitat. But one thing he does not have . . .” Show a giraffe. “. . . is a long neck, like the giraffe. Which is why nature has allowed them to combine forces.” Show monkey on giraffe’s neck. (Note: Monkey may have to be tied on.)
