At
The Top: Miscellaneous Monkie - Well, let's see. Where to begin...First
out of the shoot is a note to all of you fine folks that we will be taking
yet another short
break. With the need to complete certain job related tasks, it's
time to put the old Monkie nose to the grindstone and pick up the pace
in order to complete work required processes. That said, regular Monkie
posts may resume next Monday. But because of rapid transitions in the work
place, it may be necessary to continue occasional leaves of absence until
the process is complete. Continued...

Next in line is to mention that
the Comment script issue has been "fixed." In
actuality, the old script was replaced with a new one, since no one was able
to detect the mysterious break. Only one change came as the result of the
switch - one **must** provide a valid e mail address in order to send a
comment. If this field is left blank, the user will receive an error message.
And lastly, but certainly not leastly, we begin this week
with the latest in Community News from StockIcons, some fun filled quotes
and trivia in Monkie Business, and a batch of Bananas to brighten up your
face. Until we return, make the most of your world in order to truly make
the difference!

Play On Words
Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning
'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures'?
Diet Right
A man entered his doctor's office with a cucumber up his nose, a carrot
in his left ear and a banana stuck in his right ear. "Doc," he
asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"Simple," replied the
doctor, "You aren't eating right."
Whoops!
"Do you believe in life after death?" the boss asked one of his
employees.
"Yes, sir," the clerk replied.
"That's good," the boss
said. "After you left early yesterday
to go to your grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see you."
Talk, You Nut!
One day a man walked into a bar with a peanut and a banjo. He set the banjo
on the table and the banjo said, "Give me your strongest bottle of tequila."
"Wow, can I buy that banjo from you?" The bartender said.
"Well,
sure, but it has to be around two thousand dollars."
The man sold the
banjo and the man next to him said, "You, idiot, you
could have gotten millions!"
"No I couldn't, it was actually
my ventriloquist peanut that said that!"
