BURLEIGH " SHOOTS " WHITE ELEPHANT AND MEETS NUTTY MONKEY IN THAILAND

Before putting  his French canal cruising  boat into mothballs and heading to Thailand on a study tour , our roaming  correspondent Peter Burleigh  sent  this unusual  snap , without caption .  Later , he  added to his weird  animalia  collection with  the  odd   photograph , below , of  the  monkey mascot  at  a  Thai  massage  parlour , which  he implied  had been named after  a  former   Australian   politician , first name sounding like "Peet" when pronounced by  massage  parlour staff . When  we  referred  this  peculiar  photograph of  the  well endowed  chimp  to  political  pundit Argus Tuft  in  the non members' bar  in parliament house   Canberra, he laughed  and  said it  could  be the  founder of the Monkey Nut  Club , a bunch of  swingers  who  like  to  rumble  in  the  jungle . 
Naturally , we  have alerted  Border Security  to  the  fact  that  Burleigh  is returning to Australia  via  Singapore in the near  future .
