Her name was Lola

Monkeys make horrible spouses but James has seen uglier woman. This deal, if he survived the first year of marriage, would leave him a very rich man. James knew the money was the biggest factor in marrying the monkey, but all he could think of was the down sides.
The monkey would not clean the house (most likely would leave even more poop on the floor), would not have a hot meal waiting for him when he returned home from work, and he didn’t even want to think about his sex life.
Her name was Lola, and she was a very cute monkey, as far as monkeys go. She chattered nonstop while James read through the paperwork, and signed away 365 days of his life to the TV producers. He wasn’t only giving up his privacy, self-respect, and any chance of a real marriage on down the road; he was also going to be on reality TV.
