Why do monkeys through poop at each other?
Many animals defaecate when they are frightened as losing a little weight is an aid to running away faster.
Our cousin the monkey is probably up in a tree and is not in immediate danger so the faeces becomes a readily available weapon with which to annoy the threat.
Throwing dung is also seen in Homo Sapiens. If you've ever watched an episode of Lock-up or Lock-down which documents life in American prisons, It is not uncommon for inmates to hurl their dung at staff or each other. Often fecal matter is stored and mixed with urine then left to fester into a noxious brew and used on a victim at an opportune moment.

Once there lived an old woman and her grandson in a hut. The old woman worked hard to feed her grandson and herself but her grandson was a lazy boy. He did not help her in her work and took her money and spent it all on his friends.
One day, he came home hungry. "Where is my food?" he demanded. Alas! The food was not ready. He became angry and finding coconuts lying on the ground, threw them at his grandmother. "Food' Food! Food!" he chanted stamping his foot. The good behaviour fairy was passing by. "I'll teach this boy manners!" she thought. She waved her magic wand and whoosh . . . the boy turned into a furry animal with a long tail. When his friends saw him they threw stones at him. Lo! They too turned into animals. The people drove them out of the town.
The boy and his friends then began living on trees and came to be known as monkeys.

How can a monkey learn sign language?
Answer 1:
Repetition
Answer 2:
There is massive doubt as to whether they are actually learning sign language in the sense that most of us understand it. It should be noted that primates are not limited in language by their undeveloped vocal chords, but rather by their lesser brains.
In other words, while their hands are as dextrous as our's, they cannot sign with the proficiency of a normal human child, nor can they type even by the "hunt and peck" method in a realistic fashion.
They can master some symbols, and use certain ASL or keyboard symbols for that. Grammar and other rules are beyond them, and even their symbol limitation is staggeringly limited.
Movies showing an ASL proficient human freely "conversing" with an ape or chimpanzee are entirely fictional.
