All this Monkey business is driving me BANANAS

Hello again,

Firstly, I would like to thank my friend COOK for keeping our (fan club of 5) happy and entertained.. u've done an excellent job ;-)

Secondly, on to my story .... i just got home from dinner at a Japanese sushi bar in Holborn. Cook and i were the only non-Japanese people there. Now that to me is a sign that the food is actually good. well it was!! However, the waiters and waitresses could barely speak two words of English, so the communication was a bit difficult. as the plates of sushi were passing by on the rotating *thingi* on the bar i picked up a plate which looked interesting. so i asked the nice hello kitty waitress what was in this sushi roll?!

waitress : "Dis MOKY!!"

POET: "?!!?!?" two second later "excuse me?"

waitress : "MOKY MOKY!!!"

POET : "MOKY?!"

waitress: "NOOO NOOOO!!!" as her croaky voice got louder "I SAID MONKEY!"

POET: whilst trying to keep a straight face "Do u mean monk FISH??" trying to make sense of it all.

waitress: "I SAID MONKEY MONKEY... U KNOW FO' BANANA"

POET: "oh oh I understand now,, u mean monkey!!!" pretending not to be shocked.. "well is this monkey sushi good?" (note: i wasn't planning on having it regardless of the answer)

waitress: "no! Lubish"

POET: turns to Cook and says "AFTER WHAT?!" <-- Translated from Arabic!

waitress: "have Clab Lore, berry good"

at this point, i just picked up the CLAB, because I couldn’t take it anymore, she had to leave so i could burst out laughing at the monkey sushi and the banana comment. ANYHOO, after thorough investigation, i found out that the sushi was not actually Monkey, it was called a monkey roll because it had pieces of banana inside. THAT WAS A RELIEF! lol

POET.
