Free Monkey?!?! April Fools
Found this in todays Oregonian's Thrifty Ads.
"FREE MONKEY, to good home. Knows tricks, is potty trained
208-263-XXXX"
I was suspicious, but I had to call. I mean, it's a FREE MONKEY. How cool would that be!!
Anyway it was as I suspected. This poor lady at the other end of the phone said that her daughter had a sick sense of humor and she had gotten HUNDREDS of calls so far.

Re: Free Monkey?!?! April Fools
Something has gone terribly wrong :whazzup:
A month ago Woody was looking for a new puppy here on ifish. Now he's searching the monkey section of the Oregonian 
Things a little slow out there in Markham pal?

Re: Free Monkey?!?! April Fools
I was just scanning the ads during lunch, and it just jumped off the page at me. Now pearl, you can't tell me, given the chance, you wouldn't take a free monkey. Think of the possibilities!!! You could teach it serve your adult beverage of choice, hand you tools, ....or, or......howbout a baitmonkey, or a netmonkey, or a kickermonkey (who needs a TR1?) Dude, the list is endless.
