I am told about a dream

It is breakfast time!!! We are gnawing eggs, drinking coffee, thrusting toast into our gaping maws, etc. The person I am having breakfast with (a French-Canadian self-haircutting veterinary research pathologist) speaks:

"I dreamt about monkeys last night.

There were some monkeys there, all together.

(Silence.)

In the closet. Yes. They were in the closet.

(Silence.)

Also, some marine mammals. Yes. The monkeys were with the marine mammals.

(Silence.)

Oh. They were in a boat.
Yes. They were in a boat. They were going to be released.

The monkeys. And the sea mammals."

Now we are going on holiday. It is not a moment too soon, in my opinion!!!!


(I am also adding "quaffing" to the banned words list - if you need know why, you may no longer read my web-blog.)
