"They're here! They're
here!" Monkey yells
leaping atop the startled SureWest
workers' truck.
"Let's get everything hooked-up fast!"

Monkey settles down to supervise one of his 4 assistants. He can't wait to look up that fiber optic line and see all the pretty ultraviolet colors inside.
St. Patrick's Day*
Wednesday, 17th Monkey saw - Monkey does.
"I can do that!" Monkey thinks when the installer goes to the truck for more parts.
"I will make a nice surprise for him when he gets back!"

What's zat? Is that the cable box? Gimme the remote!
Cool! Do you want this part now? Le'me hold that for you. What's this
wire for? Can I have the box? Where's this go? I think you should put
the black line in the red jack. We have sound & picture! Can I beta
test it yet?
Which channel is PlayApe?

It always surprises me how tolerant people are when Monkey shadows them about their work. Fortunately, most folk get the joke that he's just a plush fabrication (which animates my life).

[No, he hasn't a clue what "voice over IP" means, but none-the-less for once his hubris is merited.]
