Monkey business

Nerve-rattling, but a lot of fun.

Meanwhile, a surgeon somewhere is playing “Operation”

About that time the Forman showed up: “YOU BOYS STOP MONKEYING AROUND AND GET BACK TO WORK!!… AND TELL THAT “BL@&B” OF YOURS TO PUT ON A HELMET..!!”

But cranes are birds, not primates.

I was doin’ good and almost had all 12 monkeys, until a game of Monopoly broke out!

This was serious business. It was no laughing matter. (Or was it?)

I think a good operator can do that.

Pay the the union dues and you are licensed

…he worked at Acme Toy company before so he’s familiar with monkey antics….

Fork lift operators do the Jenga challenge.

Is bleeb the gc of this job

Okay, lets make that a thing.

Now that takes me back! I don’t have the monkeys but kept the barrel all these years – it holds rare coins.

Nice just don’t get the pox

He also has to put the worms back in the can.

He practices at the arcade.

Do they still sell those ? We had them as kids ** years ago !

Carpenters have to do the Lincoln Log Challenge.

Bleeb, you need to put on hard hat!

Anyone remember the nested wooden men: BILL DING ? Yeah, really !!

Ugh, I hated that game.

Hi, Bleeb! It’s great to have you back, but they’re tight! You need a hard hat!
