NAPA is not just a great company who cares deeply about all things automotive. NO, it is made up of lovely human beings who care even more deeply about a 12-inch, plaster of paris, semi-endangered, Chimpanzee on a surf board. And in order to show their love, the muckety-mucks have made an executive decision to do away with what used to be called “business attire” and instead, wear these fantastic Surf Monkey T-shirts (found exclusively at Surf Monkey Fellowship
) each and every day!
Okay, perhaps that was a teensy exaggeration. What we can say is that part of the IT department (the most brilliant, good looking, and fun-loving part, no doubt, as pictured above) shares a love of the Surf Monkey.
How did this love affair with the Tijuana Surf Monkey begin for a company located in Atlanta, Georgia, you ask?
Well, as it turns out, one of the directors brought back an actual Surf Monkey from a vacation in TJ! (Not sure who would be vacationing in TJ, but to each his own). This very Surf Monkey is held in great esteem, as you can imagine, and each Friday the current holder of the Surf Monkey gives it to the person who helped them out the most that week. So this prestigious Monkey, goes to the one who has gone above and beyond the call of duty (or who was able to brown nose their way into receiving this much sought after hairy little guy).
After all, what says I APPRECIATE YOU, better than a plaster of paris, irregularly painted surfing Chimp from the TJ border?
