Boone Pickens bids farewell to Sports Illustrated

.@SInow The higher the monkey climbs the tree the more people can see its ass. You climbed far up the tree on #okstate.

I still don’t know what this means even though I’ve seen it dozens of times — I’m not even sure Boone knows what it means but when you’re in your 80s and you have more money than seven states, you can kind of say what you want.

Also, this follow-up destroyed me:

And remember this!

Regarding last RT: Boone Pickens likes to talk about monkeys. In 2011: "Don't rush the monkey, and you'll see a better show."

So much funny…

Direct Message to @boonepickens: I am not nearly drunk enough for tweets from a billionaire about monkey asses. That's a late night tweet.
