WHHHAT? I don't know whether to have an attack of the vapours and faint or fall on the floor laughing maniacally and foaming at the mouth. :)

But I think the best enlightenment I can offer is an assignment. Write a two page story that must contain a monkey, a hammer, a naked fakir in a seedy Winnipeg hotel room, and a talking, philosophical cat food can.

Due by boxing day. Lets see what ya got.
