A keen observation

Hi Kids!

There is a LOT of crap going on right now in Emerica. My poor little brain hurts when I try to follow it all. War in UK is a fizzle and Brazil (nuts) are attacking Spain. There are no deer in the US, but I hit one in RL with my car a few days ago! But we're up to our armpits in FRUITS! Murmurings of invading Mexico because they have saltypeters (what ever that is).

On and on it goes. Soooo... This article is about nothing.



No, that was a TV show about nothing. This is an article about nothing.



Well, almost nothing. Stop me if you've heard this one...

There was an old man, an organ grinder by trade.



He wanted to retire, so he advertised to sell his business. One day a man approched him on the street and asked, "Are you selling out?". "Why yes I am!", he replied. They talked it over and money changed hands. The organ grinder said, "Oh yes, don't forget your monkey.". The organ grinder was sad, for he liked the monkey, but he was essential to the business, as he would collect the money from patrons who lived on the upper floors of the apartment building.



One day, after working long hours for little pay, the new organ grinder was on his way home. Suddenly there was a loud BANG and all the lights on the block went out. People lit candels to see by, but they had no TV or radio for entertainment.



Thinking quickly, the organ grinder got set up and started playing music to make the people happy. He sent the monkey off to collect the money.



Climbing high, and swinging from window to window the monkey collected more and more money. The organ grinder was making a killing! The monkey eventually sat on a window sil and his tail fell into a lit candel. The startled animal screamed and went running down the street, tail ablaze. The organ grinder was so busy he didn't notice.


(I apologize, I could not find a picture of a monkey with his tail on fire.)

A woman shreiked and a man cried out, "HEY! DO YOU KNOW YOUR MONKEYS TAIL IS ON FIRE!!!" To which the organ grinder replied, "NO, BUT IF YOU'D HUM A FEW BARS I'LL GIVE IT A TRY!"




Well, I've said absolutely nothing relevant here. Ridicule is expected.

Freebie!
