"Dish Monkeys"? Monkeys climb trees. Dish guys don't climb trees. Hmm, poles are very similar to trees, right? Cable guys climb poles. So that being the case if cable guys climb poles and poles are similar to trees and monkeys climb trees then I guess you could say that cable guys should be called, "Cable Monkeys", right? Make sense to me.
