If you take it literally, there is a non-zero chance that a monkey types the entire works of Shakespeare. I mean, it has already happened: who is Shakespeare but an intelligent monkey? (don't tell the librarian...)
For that to happen again, a monkey has to evolve into an intelligent specie interested in human history, find the complete works of Shakespeare, and write it. It is more likely than using probabilistic arguments using letter frequencies, or actual monkeys[1].
