Quips and Quotations (Simmering Simians Simile Edition)

 



"More fun than a barrel of monkeys." Has anyone ever stopped to think how cranky, if not downright vicious, a barrelful of monkeys would be, especially once released from the barrel?

--Tom Shales, longtime and widely syndicated TV critic for the Washington Post


1944-2024

    Hello Kirk, Well, Shale's observation only increases the truth and applicability of the original statement. "Oh, you've got the flu? Well, it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys!"

      That's true, Jim, though the bar is set awfully low.

In order to keep the hucksters, humbugs, scoundrels, psychos, morons, and last but not least, artificial intelligentsia at bay, I have decided to turn on comment moderation. On the plus side, I've gotten rid of the word verification.
