I take offense at that. Not only am I funny (bless my heart), I'm also cute!

I like monkeys coming out of a barrel.

A couple of weeks ago it was clowns coming out of a barrel. Now it is monkeys coming out of a barrel.

Truthfully, I don't really understand either metaphor. Are they commonly used and I am just not paying attention?

Do clowns come out of barrels? I know they come out of cars.

I had no idea monkeys came out of barrels.

The expression is "more fun than a barrel full of monkeys." SU is always a little late, so he probably has only arrived at the end of their shift, when those fun monkeys are leaving the barrel.

I'm just wondering what those monkeys ate to become so flatulent. I don't think that's a barrel full of laughs, if you know what I mean.

I think they ate some of those delicious root beer barrels, which they obviously collected recently at Halloween. yum!

I thought they skipped trick-or-treating in favor of the big sale at Crate and Barrel.

Why would monkeys shop at Crate and Barrel? That makes no sense.

It would be like my claiming that the monkeys skipped trick or treating to go Barrel Horse racing.
