“The monkeys told me I’d find you here.”
“Smart monkeys.”
“So, what are you doing here?”
“Same reason I walk into a library for a pretzel.”
“What?”
“I have no idea.”
“Why you walk into a library for a pretzel?”
“No, I mean I don’t know why I’m here, in this spot.”
“Well, you’re next to a barrel. Does that jog your memory?”
“Hm… maybe I should go for a jog.”
“Jogging has nothing to do with the reason you’re here.”
“Oh! I was trying to find a screwdriver, to fix my scooter.”
“But you can’t fix squat.”
“Yeah, but I was trying to find it so the monkeys could fix it.”
“You trust the monkeys to fix a scooter more than yourself? You have faith, my friend.”
“Hey, the monkeys are actually nice to me! You just have to be nice to them.”
“How in the world do you be nice to monkeys that bang on pipes and screech all day?!”
“Hey, if I can do it, you can do it.”
“Speak for yourself. I’m talking to you, remember.”
“True…”

    I love quirky, and this is definately quriky. So you get 6 stars… even though I know you were going for a little more oddness with the different size fonts, it was a bit distracting, and IMHO took away from the story, and you lose 1 star :P

    I didn’t mean for the different font sizes, but I’ll see what I can do about it. And could you clarify the “IMHO” thing?
