Rising to the surface once more, G-Man pleads for our 55 word Friday Fictions
"Depends where you put the italics."
"Eh?"
"Wild monkey sex. Imagine howler monkeys on amphetamines going 'YES!' and 'OMG!'"
"Whereas?"
"Wild Monkey sex is an out-of-zoo experience denied to caged monkeys."
"I see."
"And wild Monkey sex particularises the genus. Not wild elephant, armadillo or platypus."
"So what's wild monkey sex, daddy-o?"
"You trying to be funny?"
Left me laughing with this one. All happy primates together in this zoo. Great 55, Dr.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to....
ReplyDeleteNever mind, this is a Family Blog!!
Great Job Doc...You Rock!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
wild and descriptive 55.
ReplyDelete...no photos this week? :) (for those of us who aren't "grammar heads")
ReplyDeleteReally, Margaret! I can't put photographs of WMS on a family blog. (Thinks . . can't I? Why not?)
DeleteLOL Wild monkey sex indeed ...very funny!
ReplyDeleteThe G-Man started it. Check him out!
Deletethink i may have to do some exploratory investigation into this phanomanon....smiles....
ReplyDeleteWild Monkey Sex? Does my beloved know about these things? Neat dialogue, Doctor.
ReplyDeleteCaddoc, you taught me all you know, did you not? If you missed out a lesson or two, please re-arrange the curriculum asap...
DeleteHe..he...This gave me the chuckles ~
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend ~
Italics DO matter. "Don't they?" or is it "Don't!"--"They."
ReplyDeleteOh, those monkeys...D
I feel I must explain, italics, madam, are not "", but sloping text like this.
DeleteThe emphasis on the syllable matters! Loved this good Doctor.
ReplyDeleteTrying AND succeeding!
ReplyDelete"It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is." I don't think you're American so may not recognize the quote, and actually, I like the speaker. But emphasis undoubtedly important when it comes to the topics under discussion. K.
How did William ("Call me Bill") Jefferson Clinton get in here? . He did not have wild monkey sex with that woman.
DeleteLOL Trying or not, he's funny.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you for illustrating the importance of punctuation/ italice...well, not illustrating exactly, ha! And thank you for not literally illustrating it!
ReplyDelete(hmmm...it would appear the lesson I really need is spelling)
DeleteSo that's where the words 'monkey organ' come from! Ha,ha.
ReplyDeleteJust going to have a burst on on my -
'Monkey Orgasm'!
Around here we have a term for a bad night...It’s called an Organ grinder. Imagine that, a monkey grinding an organ, horrific isn’t it? My grandfather always liked to show off his organ to people, in his living room no less, and I would picture a monkey just grinding away at it, yeah, just horrific!
ReplyDeleteGet your minds outta the gutter...It was a pipeless organ.
Dr. this was fun
