Because that's the way it's always been done...

Friday humor…

Scientists put 5 monkeys in a cage. In the center of the cage they

suspended bananas out of reach of the monkeys. They also put a stool

in the cage. One of the monkeys figured out that if he moved the stool

to under the bananas and climbed up on it he'd be able to reach them.

However, once he moved the stool and climbed on top of it the scientists

hosed down all the monkeys until he got off the stool. Periodically

another monkey would try to climb up and the scientists would hose them

down. Finally all the monkeys quit trying.

The scientists then removed one of the monkeys and replaced him with a

new one. The new one headed for the stool on realizing the bananas

were there. The 4 original monkeys intercepted him and beat the crap

out of him because they didn't want to get hosed down.

The scientists repeated this process over time replacing each monkey

until finally none of the original monkeys were left that had been hosed

down. They then brought in yet another monkey and the 5 replacement

monkeys also beat the crap out of him when he tried to reach the bananas

even though none of them had ever been hosed down. Why did they do

this? BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AROUND HERE PAL!
