By “underwear-stealing monkeys”, are they referring to the current junta in Washington, D.C.?

Actually I think I invented this device back in high skrool. One of the guys that sat at our lunch table was put on this earth to reach over and smash our sack lunches.

After about the ten thousandth time, I took a piece of cardboard and stuck 25 or so carpet tacks through it.

He had to peel my lunch bag off of his hand as he ran to the bathroom. We were ROTFL.

It ended that day.

All except the blue ones; the bowerbirds steal those.

There's a cave somewhere on Gibraltar that is full of mate-less socks.

I just know there is.
