Chai boy says that most everyone's job could be done by trained monkeys. "Well, a chimp, really," he said. And I said, "Of course. You wouldn't want just any old monkey off the street doing your job. They'd have to be trained first."

I hadn't realised that Mir, as in the space station, meant anything, but not only does it, it's in the dictionary: "a village community in czarist Russia in which land was owned jointly but cultivated by individual families "

"Mir" means two things in Russian: "peace" or "the world." So the phrase Miri Mir means "Peace to the World," if I remember correctly.
