God no, Gadabout! We are so sophisticated here that we squeak. If Mr Chongo were only a female (and human...) I would pass your incredibly generous offer on to him right away. He is willing to work for bananas, and he does a great job...but hey...$200,000 can buy a lotta bananas, right? Oh, and he's got ALL his original teeth.

Your version sounds pretty plausible to me, Nicole...just about the way I would have read it. Still, this could be that once-in-a-lifetime chance that every girl dreams of! Did I mention I have a large bridge to sell...cheap?

Got any jamming with Bob Dylan anecdotes, Gadabout?

Brucie - Good wishes going your way too, pal. If you have some free time check out the Chongo Chimp thread for a few more chuckles...
