It looked familiar to me but I couldn't pin down the name.
Some checking around the Great Google found the answer.
That's the loveable face of the Proboscis Monkey.
Scientists tell us the longer the nose the more attractive he is to the female of his species.
Oh, and the top picture?
That's our 3-wicked candle which is said to repel gnats and mosquitoes and other pests trying to interrupt the peacefulness of my cocktail hour.
And make me think of weird monkeys.
So ends my lecture today.
Class dismissed.
I thought it was three fried eggs.
ReplyDeleteAt first glance, I was thinking eggs over easy.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were frying eggs on the patio
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought about eggs.
ReplyDeleteHa! I thought they looked like eggs, too! Or maybe a lemur. But that proboscis monkey IS pretty awesome. Evolution is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with the eggs idea well. How deep into your cocktail hour were you that you thought monkey instead of eggs?
ReplyDeleteActually, Tom, not deep at all. And is that all you people think about? Your stomachs? (Incidentally, the Proboscis Monkey is also known for his pot belly.)
ReplyDeleteOr an eye eye.

I thought eggs too! ;-)
ReplyDelete(Class, being dismissed, looks at each other, picks up their books and wanders off, muttering to each other)......lol. good one, bruce
ReplyDeleteOkay, then. I was sure it was 3 eggs.
ReplyDeleteWell, when you fry three eggs on your patio, you've got us all conditioned to think, "Proboscis Monkey!"
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how our brains make facial recognition between candles and monkeys. I love how that works!
