// Phil has been kept awake at night for weeks because of this question...
Phil (suggestively): How did AIDS get transmitted from monkeys to humans?
Several people: Oh, gross.
Mr. Sacks: Phil, did you ever consider that maybe someone just got monkey blood on them while having an open wound?
Phil: Oh, come on, how often do you get /monkey blood/ all over you?
Mr. Sacks: Well, maybe the monkey got angry and threw his feces at the human with the open wound.
Phil: It's not transmitted through feces...
Mr. Sacks: Well, blood-covered feces, then.
Phil: ...
Mr. Sacks: Or maybe the monkeys dressed up in human clothes and tricked the young girls in the villages...
Phil: ...
Mr. Sacks: ...Come on, /anything/ but that.
Phil: I guess it just gets lonely down there in Africa...
