All the Monkies Say Ahhhhh! -
Ah yes, it IS Friday. The work week is almost gone (for some
of us), the "Crud" has cleared for the most part, the thumper pumper is
mangled, and yet there still is a smile to be found amongst the Monk's
pages of pure poudashery. There's so much so, that even ME needs to create
his own dictionary for that last splash of dash...NEXT!

GOO!
New Desktop -
Returning to the Wonderful World of the Outdoors, this week's pixel passage
places us right back in the wilderness as we get our Pic of Nature.
Set aside the bananas for now and get your pick!
Nature - There's just something
about leaving well enough alone that  Master Monkie
Wiles (Bradford Wiles to be exact) just can't
seem to wrap his crazy cranium around. Once again debuting 2 before one,
the latest pick of Nature comes in the liquefied form of Riverside
II. This spiffy glance at the blue covered cliffs comes only
a hop, skip, and a jump (about 20 miles) from the fun
and forestry found
right here within a snake's tail of home. And as mentioned, Wiles **had**
to tweak it a tad in Photoshop to get a "different" look. Ya call that
different? Well, maybe to somebody...Enjoy!
Thanks Department --
To all of you...
For popping in now and again!
THANK YOU!

Don't Tell Me The Obvious
A lady went to see a card reader woman who'll predict her
future: "Lady, I'm sorry to inform you that your husband will die in the
near future."
"Don't tell me things that I already know, tell me
if there would be an investigation!!"
SOLD!
A blonde made several attempts to sell her old car. She was having a lot
of problems finding a buyer because the car had 340,000 miles on it. She
discussed her problem with a brunette that she worked with at a bar.
The brunette suggested, "There may be a chance to sell that car easier,
but it's not going to be legal."
"That doesn't matter at all," replied the blonde. "All that
matters it that I am able to sell this car."
"Alright," replied the brunette. In a quiet voice, she told the
blonde: "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair
shop around here. Tell him I sent you, and he will turn the counter back
on your car to 40,000 miles. Then it shouldn't be a problem to sell your
car."
The following weekend, the blonde took a trip to the mechanic on the brunette's
advice.
About one month after that, the brunette saw the blonde and asked, "Did
you sell your car?"
"No!" replied the blonde. "Why should I? It only has 40,000
miles on it."
And Here
Jim and Edna are both mental patients. One day Jim jumps into the swimming
pool but, doesn't come up for air. Quick as a flash, Edna sees her friend
in trouble, dives in and pulls him out.
Later, the hospital director calls Edna into his office
and says "Edna, Ive got some good news and some bad news. The good news is,
we are releasing you as you are obviously sane saving another's life. But
unfortunately, the bad news is that Jim hanged himself in the bathroom."
"Oh no" Edna replies, "That's where I put him to dry!"
Positively
Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar.
One says, "I've
lost my electron".
The other says, "Are you sure?"
The first replies, "Yes,
I'm positive."

Ancient Chinese Secret?
An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at
a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy,
'You're in charge of sweeping.'
To the Scotsman he says, 'You're in charge of shoveling.'
And to the Chinese guy, 'You're in charge of supplies.'
He then says, 'Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys
to make a dent in that there pile.'
So the foreman goes away for a couple hours and when he returns, the pile
of sand is untouched.
He asks the Italian, 'Why didn't you sweep any of it?'
The Italian replies, 'I no hava no broom. You saida to the Chinese a fella
that he a wasa in a charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no
coulda finda him nowhere.'
Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, 'And you, I thought I told
you to shovel this pile.'
The Scotsman replies, 'Aye, ye did lad, boot ah couldnay get meself a shoovel!
Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah couldnayfin' him
either.'
The foreman is really angry now and storms off toward the pile of sand to
look for the Chinese guy ...Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind
the pile of sand and yells...
'SUPPLIES!!'
