Reminds me of a joke (that is better spoken, but I'll try anyways):
A state trooper arrives at the scene of a horrible accident on the interstate in the middle of the night. Nobody is around, but the carnage is everywhere both mechanical and biological. Without any witnesses, the trooper is mystified as to what exactly happened. As he's inspecting the accident he sees a rustle in a nearby shrub. He steps closer to discover a monkey shivering and scared. He speaks to the monkey in a calm voice and coaxes it out to him. The trooper feels like the monkey understands his words, so he asks the monkey if he saw what happened. The monkey nods vigorously that he does.
"What were the passengers doing?" asks the trooper. The monkey mimes drinking and smoking motions. "They were drinking and smoking?" and the monkey nods with certainty that they were. "Anything else?" and the monkey makes hugging and kissing motions. "They were fooling around and having sex?" and the monkey again nods to affirm his question.
The trooper, wondering what the monkey had to do with all of this asks, "Monkey, what were you doing while all this happened?" and the monkey makes driving motions with his arms while craning his neck backwards to watch.
