Laphroaig was the only Scotch whisky that could still be imported and sold legally by apothecaries during the prohibition that plagued the US in the 1920's. The reason was its medicinal taste. I guess the government officials who tried it couldn't imagine anybody drinking the stuff out of their own free will - it's not for the faint of heart.
To the best of my knowledge, Laphroaig was the only Scotch whisky with a legal status
during the prohibition era. However, both Four Roses & Buffalo Trace (bourbon distilleries
from the US) had licenses to distill bourbon for medicinal purposes during those dark days.

If I remember correctly, it was not just a monkey, but a Great Ape, the Bonobo. Humans are equidistant from the Bonobo and the Chimpanzee. Whereas Chimps are very aggressive and solve many arguments via fighting, and are well known to kill other chimps, the Bonobo solves all its arguments with sex. They are always banging each other, and all relationships are common except the Mother Son. They are an interesting species, and the females have giant clitorises.

According to the folk etymology of cup of Joe, the term may be named after Josephus Daniels. In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Daniels to be Secretary of the U.S. Navy.
The story goes that Daniels instituted several reforms, including banning alcohol from U.S. Navy ships. With the booze gone, coffee became the strongest drink available to sailors. And then over time, it became known as a cup of Joe.
