Here is this week's picture and my offering.
'That's hot,' said the monkey.
'What did you expect?' said Alice. 'Iced tea? And by the way taking sugar in your tea can make you go blind.'

Nice one. I must be okay. I never take sugar.

ReplyDeleteI think she just wants the sugar for herself...wicked girl.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
I think Alice is just pulling his tail. It's so easy to fool a monkey, poor thing.
ReplyDeleteCute story!
Sugar makes him go blind...seems like I've heard something like that for another part of the body!
ReplyDeleteFunny funny funny!
What a fun one! I love it! She sounds like a typical demanding woman who sees all men like monkeys. Funny, funny! Hope you have a great week!

Thank you all, kind folks!
ReplyDeleteI feel I must explain, in case the joke is a little obscure.
You go blind if you put sugar in your tea, but only if you leave the spoon in the cup and it pokes you in the eye! Ta da ;-)
Very perceptive viewing of the picture! Of course the poor monkey would put an eye out if he kept his spoon in his cup! I thought it was just manners, now I know it's a matter of safety!
ReplyDeleteLoved this MM. Have a great week.
