          LOL, hmmm, could be!

          And include a note, saying, "Accept this cute little monkey, as payback for all the songs you attempted to sing". PS he loves to have his picture taken!

          PPS, stand on the belcony when you take his picture, he will smile if he can see outside!

    Actually it might not have been the finger that caused the response. It might just have been looking it in the eye, as that's understood to be a sign of aggression with primates.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.

      It could be. Or, it could be a sound the guy made or the movement he made towards the monkey that put the monkey on "alert".


      However, none of those reasons are as funny. Sometimes it's more fun not to over-analyze things.

            Claude would never divorce a monkey. For him, that's known as "marrying up."

            Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

              That's true. But a monkey would divorce Claude. And if a monkey recognized Claude, it would have drop kicked Claude AND thrown his poop at Claude.

              Jerk. I'll have you know, that I've had marriage offers from several monkeys, and I've always turned them down......


              I have my standards, you know. I'm just grateful that my wife does not.

                      When I think of Kurt's tongue, it's less a matter of "come with" and more "come on".

                      as in "Come on...what are you waiting for?"

                  I expect in your animal poop business, you have best sellers. Claude likes the poop from the Reeses Monkey, he likes the nutty flavour.

                  You're not alone.

                  Everyone that knows us, wonders, "Him? You married..him?"
                  I must have done something really great, in a previous life...or she did something really bad. But for whatever reason, I hit the lottery with her.

                  I thought of acting offended, just to see how Riffle would react. But he would see through it.

                    I specifically worded the "marrying up" comment to be certain it couldn't be taken as insulting your wife. If you read it closely you'll see that it does not: the comparison is directly between yourself and the monkey.

                    The second comment was added, not as a recovery, but to get a couple more shots in.

                    As usual, I have to explain my jokes to Biz.

                      Your joke could have been read either way. I knew what you meant. Biz probably did too. I choose to take what you say, in the worst way imaginable. It's just more fun that way.

                      I assumed you weren't trying to recover.

                      But seriously, I thought of trying to convince you that I was offended, because you insulted my wife. I could have continued the rest of the day, relishing every moment. I just don't think you would have bought it.

                        Then one would not be reading for comprehension. "Marrying up" is a comparison of one spouse to the other, not an old spouse to a new spouse, at least, in every scenario I've encountered it.

                            I wonder if the joke would have worked better that way:


                            "Claude would never divorce a monkey. For him, that's known as hypergamy."


                            Nah.

                            Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

                              You should take a comparison of you to any human as a compliment. I would call that Trading Up.



                              Added later; So Frank Donovan is now a verb.

                              Frank Donovan; (Verb) To "Frank Donovan" means to argue the precise meanings of words, adding clarity to an argument, for the edification of all.

                                Close. It's actually to violently urinate publicly.

                                Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
                                So that blind people can hate them as well.
