a school of fish, a flock of chickens, and a gaggle of geese are all collective nouns that are familiar. Less familiar are a pride of lions, a mob of kangaroos,
an exultation of doves (love that one!),
a rookery of penguins, a troop of chimpanzees, a murder of crows, and presumably because they look so wise, a parliament of owls. 
Now, consider a group of baboons: They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And do you know what we call that?

A CONGRESS of baboons! There's your laugh of the day!
Sadly, too much of what goes on in politics today is sheer monkey business or should I say baboon business! Many thanks to whomever thought of this in the first place!
Good one.!
