    In the real world, sometimes the paper boy ( or girl) will miss and send the paper through the window. At least, that was a very common trope in comedic media. This couple is prehistoric, cavemen, Flintstones, whatever, and therefore it’s a chimp that delivers the newspaper.

      Ahh okay okay yes that makes sense. Guess I’m the wrong generation to immediately think of the paper boy… maybe wrong part of the world too. 🤔

      Interesting how jokes travel through time, what gets lost along the way. Thanks for the explaining bud 👍
