Monkey Business

Mister Monkey had used a new shampoo which promised strong, silky soft hair. But unfortunately, he dropped the bottle in his bath water, with disastrous results.






How could anyone resist being charmed by this picture, as they surf the Blogland wastes on a Sunday morning?  It appeared, appropriately enough, on the blog of Monkey Man, who challenges us to write exactly 160 characters  for our homework today. Being someone who cannot resist a challenge, I couldn't wait to have a go. Much to my surprise, by using this gadget, my first two sentences came to exactly one hundred and sixty, after a minimal amount of editing. Why not have a go yourself?

    Great use of my silly little photo. That simian sits in our living room on my daughter's old rocker. What you can't see is his Santa hat. Thanks for playing the Sunday 160. loved it.

    I have a hard enough time trying to make my photos fit certain parameters. If I had to do that with words too I'd probably go insane. Wait a minute, this works!

    If only there were a shampoo that worked such wonders. Poor monkey, though - he looks rather shocked!

    Hey Jinksy, good one! I've recently joined this meme, and it's a fun way to post on a Sunday when I don't usually have much time away from family. And I wanted to say thanks for your thoughts on Traveling Home Draft 2. And please don't say you're a nobody! Being new on the block doesn't negate your worth! Hope that InEx keeps rolling...
