Mr. Crawford said he did send a tape for the monkey to listen to, but that he was probably crying when he recorded it and that it contains nothing but comforting baby talk. He said there was nothing sexually suggestive on the tape and called Mr. Dunlap's initial conclusion "ridiculous."
"I don't have sex with my monkey. That's absolute crap," Mr. Crawford said. "Why would I do that? I gave him an audiotape, but it didn't have anything like that on it. It said, 'I'm coming home, I'm coming to get you. Daddy's coming, he's coming to get you,' " Mr. Crawford said.
Mr. Dunlap said that he made a "gross error" and that his interpretation of the tape was just that – his and no one else's.
"I interpreted what I heard and saw in my own way, and I can't say that's correct. It's just me, what I think. I can't argue with Mr. Crawford about what he meant," Mr. Dunlap said. "I took it on surface value about what he said. I just don't want to deal with it anymore. He may be totally honest and right in what he thinks about the way he sounded."
I love this story and can't get enough of it. I hope it goes on and on forever. If Texas didn't exist, you'd have to make it up.

Jim Dunlap is a great friend and great guy. He was misquoted in the original newspaper story in the Plano paper. The DMN subsequently picked up the story with the misquotes. It should die. I find it interesting that someone so concerned about the morals of the country would want this story to go "on and on forever."
Hey, you got nothing on my home state. Have you read about the guy in Cheeseland convicted of having sex with a deer carcass? Kim M
I find it interesting that someone so concerned about the morals of the country would want this story to go "on and on forever." It's. A. Joke.
Anyway, I pray for monkey-touchers around the world to turn away from their weird little hobby. It's the least I can do for my fellow primates, yes? (P.S. That's a joke too.)
Like rape, monkey-poking is an accusation easy to make and difficult to refute. No kidding. Ever try to cross-examine a monkey?
They're usually on the bench.
