In other words, nobody ever told you the story about the monkey who
swallowed a billiard ball.

I don't see how that could have anything to do with "where the monkey
put the nuts," however.

Perhaps the punchline to that old joke will jog your memory. (I've
modified it a little, to the possible detriment of the humour, to add
some context.

"And ever since he swallowed the billiard board, he's checked whether
something will fit through the exit before putting it in his mouth."
