How big of a house does he need Fred? I'll find it for sure and did you qualify him already?

Tammy - That is pretty one sided of your husband. I will send this guy over to change his mind.

Sean - Does that make you a monkey's uncle???

Cameron - Just a single's type of condo. He isn't into yard work and is a real swinger.

Unfortunately, my inner gorilla has been out for quite awhile. . .I've been trying to get it back in :-)  Very cute picture.

Fred,

Okay, you have me there.  I would not want to meet him on a bus, or in a plane or on a train..

No Fred, I would not want to meet him anywhere...

Fred: Isn't it funny how a simple silent Sunday post totally went off track. And as far as Sean goes....all I can say is ...Son??? Sean: I left you at the orphanage for a reason...hee.

Cecily - I think that is what is so fun about Speechless Sunday and Wordless Wednesday, it can be anything you want it to be. Even orphans grow up.....eventually.

Speaking of gorillas, one jumped over the wall at the St. Paul Zoo when I was living there -- not at the zoo, mind you, but in Minneapolis -- and attacked a couple kids. They were later found guilty of provoking him, I guess. Fortunately, the zoo built a bigger wall. Lesson here is don't ever provoke a gorilla.

Elizabeth - I am glad you weren't living at the zoo. Working with the animals in Real Estate is bad enough. It is amazing what people will do to get themselves hurt, isn't it?

Trust me Jason & Amber (I have a feeling it was Jason that said this), the Gorilla has a lot more hair (everywhere) than I do.

Well, I can't really add to the conversation and I don't have any thoughts about a really big monkey.  But, the comments are cracking me up.
