Your dripping icy hot monkey love on my desk.
DG and I took some extra time at lunch today and got some Icy Hot Monkey Love. It was a little weird and out of the ordinary but still, it was pretty good. I
think we both enjoyed it but DG seemed the most intrigued. At least now I know why they call them Howler Monkeys.She said I probably shouldn't have any.... Hey, I paid for the Monkey Love I'm getting some of the Monkey Love. It's only right. When she finally let me try it I made a mess on her desk and she was not happy about that, not one bit. Icy Hot Monkey Love is sticky and gooey and stains if you don't clean it up right away.
Monkey Love is an Icee (like a Slurpee) that is evidently made with those little candy redhots. The ice makes it icy and the crushed redhots make it hot but as far as the monkey love part... I have no idea and probably don't want to know.
It really is pretty good. They sell it at the local Stripes which was a Circle K which was a 7-11 which actually started out as a Jiffy Store. In other words it's the convenience store on every corner in town.
See... Icy Hot Monkey Love just looks fun. One note of caution. You can get a really nasty case of brain freeze. If that is the case and you scream out in pain and your coworkers ask what is wrong, do not, I repeat DO NOT say "I sucked down my Monkey Love too fast." Trust me that isn't something you want people spreading around town.
After I had served up the Love, taken a picture of the Icee machine, (I then had to explain to the clerk why I was taking pictures in her store... which wasn't easy, even when your talking to someone who regularly sells a single cigar to a guy with no teeth, his shirt buttoned on backwards and missing one shoe at three in the morning. I went with, "I need to show people where the Monkey Love comes from... and then the lady paying for her gas stepped way away from me".), and paid for my Monkey Love, I got back in the car and DG said, "Look at the sign.". The sign proclaimed
the next store promotion. You see evidently Icy Hot Monkey Love is a fleeting thing. It has been a Valentine's promotion only. No more Hot Lovin' from the Monkey after Thursday. The new offering is Jumbo, Juicy Love... any wiener in the joint just 69ยข.
Have I told you how much I love hotdogs? I should start a contest to see who can finish off the most Jumbo Juicy Love in one sitting. If the promotions overlap a couple days we could actually get some Jumbo Juicy Love and wash it down with some Icy Hot Monkey Love....
Monkey Mania
I can't wait... This should prove interesting

You are too funny. And very graphic. you could be a photojournalist as your third job. And I should expect this kind of humor from a man who answers your "How are you?" with I'm just marvelous.
