We know. It's tempting to pick up that cell phone for just one little text or call while you're driving. But driving with your monkey can lead to just as much trouble, if not more. Just ask a driver in Burien, Washington near Seattle.

Associated Press tells us that the guy crashed into a big boulder in someone's yard after being clocked driving at 112 miles per hour! Witnesses saw the mean leave the scene, but came back when he realized he left his pet monkey in the car. He takes off again but police said it was pretty easy to find the guy who matched his description, since he was running with a monkey on his back.

The man was easily detained. The monkey? Not so much. It refused to cooperate so authorities had to call the driver's mom to come get it.

Age of monkey, unknown. The human is 30 going on 12.     DB
