Alright, this takes some 'splainin' as well. We have this furniture store Downtown, Home Furniture. For DECADES their big sales pitch was " Home Furniture: No Monkey Business!" (I guess they meant with delivery charges, et al, whatever? ) They had these terrible local commercials where some dude would be dressed up in a monkey suit in a variety of odd scenarios meant to back up their claim ( AND, I found out, they hand out these little stuffed guys to school kids). I didn't think much of it, really, til I went away to college ( over 200 miles away, thank you!) and when I'd say where I was from, I was almost instantly responded to with "Hey! I know that place! NO MONKEY BUSINESS!!! This continued on when I moved to Saint Louis at 24, and believe it or not, I've had a few "No Monkey Business!" encounters OUT HERE IN L.A. *Sigh*. They say you can't go home again, but that doesn't mean it won't follow you wherever you end up....
