Well - have you ever heard a Scotsman, or Welshman - or (shudder) someone from the Southern USA?
Those examples should explain quite well as to why the simian brethren decided it best to remain silent and be considered "dumb" rather then speak and remove all doubt.

For me, the worst English speaking accent is the Belfast accent. Or a Brooklyn accent - whydotheyspeaksofast???

Well - actually, there actually several parts to the answer to your question:
1) That Brooklyn accent is only for the movies
2) The closest to that accent is currently spoken in Eastern New Jersy
3) Mainly, you just need to learn to listen faster.

Voluntarily? 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Although anything's possible after you pass out, it's probably just an "in your dreams"*

Most talking monkeys I have met wore a suit and had a pointy hairdo.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Humans are only the fourth most intelligent creature on Earth; the white mice, the dolphins, and the monkeys are all ahead of us.
Humans consider themselves more intelligent than monkeys or dolphins, because we have wars, built New York, etc., while they just muck about having a good time. Monkeys and dolphins consider themselves more intelligent, and for the exact same reasons.
(With apologies to Douglas Adams)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There's that old saying that "if you get an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters, eventually one of them will produce the entire works of Shakespeare".
Well we don't have an infinite number of either, so we have to make do with the internet

A co-worker is retiring; today is his last day on site.
While cleaning out his desk, he found some dried mango slices - best before date November 2000.
It looked like something from a 'Cheech and Chong' skit from the '70s.
Looks like....
Smells like...
Feels like...

I'd change the labeling to make it look more recent and mail it to him as a going away gift.

We have all had a hearty laugh; well, all of those that are old enough to understand. Some of the younger set are looking at us wondering what is so funny.

I miss cheech and chong. One of the funniest scenes for me, was Cheech and Chong driving down the highway, car full of smoke, and you couldn't see anyone in the car, it was so full of smoke.
Very funny, at least for me.
Brings back memories....of the movie, that is.

My favorite line was when the cop, Stacey Keetch stopped them and he said; "...you going to eat that..." pointing to the hot dog.
