Sure,
A brass Monkey is what used to hold the cannon balls all nice and neat onboard the old gallions. When the weather got really cold the metal in it would change shape and the cannon balls would drop through t and onto the deck.
Hence the saying "It's cold enough to freeze the balls of a Brass Monkey"

Pete takes off his cardigan, tosses aside his pipe and slips away.
