peer agreement (net): +5organ grinder's tin cup Explanation: Usually there is a monkey or chimpanzee who wields this piece of hardware. While attending the Dickinson County Fair {MI}, six years ago, there was a organ grinder with a Capuchin monkey working the crowd on the midway and with nary a blink the monkey grabbed a quarter in a flash from our young son's hand, put it in a tin cup and scurried promptly up the grinder's pant leg and deposited it in the grinder's pants pocket.... http://www.shorpy.com/node/2097 A tin cup on top of the organ or in the hand of a companion (or an animal) was used to solicit payments for his performance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_grinder The monkey holds a tin cup to collect coins, and is tethered to the organ grinder who stands in the street. http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/illus/weinmonkeydress.htm... |
