How rare is the monkey? Did I mention that the panda steaks have been seasoned with bamboo smoke?

Could be a deal being brokered.

the reason prison wardens are called screws is because in victorian times, a prisoner would sit in his cell all day turning a whell on a sort of mechanical machine. it had numbers on it and had to be turned a certain amount of times per day. it averaged at about 3-4 turns per min. during the day, a prison warden would come in a tighten or "screw" the wheel to make it harder to turn.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis invented a special diaper for babies that has a pocket so they can put their shank in it and knife up other babies at the park.

This is why babies always lose a shoe - "Bruv, gimme ur kreps and your dummy!" but they dont have enough time to take the other one off..
