That is a Pig-tailed macaque. Higher order "monkeys" hire them as cheap labor, kinda like a rodman. ?????ÿ

This short story is straight off of Facebook, so you know it must be true.?ÿ It is story #44 in a long list of people talking about dating people who turned out to be so stupid they broke up with them.?ÿ This one had a surveying-related topic.
True North Is More Like A Feeling
Was on a hike and was following a trail I had read up on online. We get to a fork and I say, ??Okay now we need to go north."?ÿ ?She says, ??haven??t we been this whole time?? Confused, I look at her and ask why she says that. She replies, ??North is the direction in front of you, yeah???ÿ Still not entirely sure about the origins of that logic.
Turn the map upside down and then she yell turn the car around... ?????ÿ
I was dating a woman some decades ago and hiking a large park with her and her two kids.?ÿ It was 4:30 pm on a clear day.?ÿ I said lets go north and she had no clue how to pick north out of the quadrants using the early evening sun.?ÿ That wasn't what broke us up, but by comparison I was impressed on an early date with the one I later married when she wanted to look at the road map and could talk directions.
Walking down the sidewalk headed into the courthouse this morning and noticed an out-of-state car with a front license plate that read, "KIS THS".?ÿ I was immediately reminded of A-Ron Tippin and this classic song.

Some decades ago (sounds familiar, doesn't it)?ÿ I was dating a gal connected to the Phillips clan whose half brother was a super nerd.?ÿ Coke bottle glasses, pocket protector, the whole nine yards.?ÿ But his girlfriend made him look like Einstein when it came to directions.?ÿ They were both at their jobs one day and it turned out he needed her to come pick him up for some reason.?ÿ He waited and waited and was about to call for someone else when she finally arrived.?ÿ They worked a short distance apart.?ÿ But, she had no idea of how to get from her job to his job location.?ÿ So, she drove all the way out to where he lived, then turned around and drove from there all the way back to his office.?ÿ She knew how to do that.
Keep it simple stupid
French Fries are not cooked is France; they're cooked in Greece.

That's how I handle most math problems.?ÿ I mean you could derive an efficient formula for that but I can calculate my way around the world before I'd figure out how to derive a formula.

Pomme frites
or more precisely
les?ÿpommes de terre frites
A lake in Missouri is named Pomme de Terre.?ÿ So, Potato Lake.
Lac de la Pomme de Terre
My BIL lives on Spud Mountain in Deary ID

We have Swan Marsh River in eastern Kansas.?ÿ That is the Marais de Cygnes.?ÿ Mar-uh-duh-zeen not Mary has kidneys.
I'm rather sure the ones naming it were seeing snow geese by the millions and not swans.
Much like the Marmaton River which was named by the early French fur traders for the large collection of what we call groundhogs, not really marmots.?ÿ To quote Google:
The main difference between groundhogs and marmots is that?ÿgroundhogs are slightly larger and are less colorful. In addition, yellow-bellied marmots live in the Western United States while groundhogs are more widespread. Groundhogs will also burrow in more varied environments and are less social than marmots.
How animals see us.

Reminder : Cold season is starting and cows seek heat on car hoods, do not forget to tap on the hood to give the cow enough time to get off before you drive away!
Ain't surveyin' a blast?
A very religious fellow receives a parrot as a gift.?ÿ The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.?ÿ Every word out of its little mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.?ÿ No matter what the fellow did he couldn't get the bird to behave better.?ÿ One day they had a major fight and he shook the parrot then stuck him in a freezer.?ÿ The parrot really let loose a string of horrible words, then suddenly went quiet.?ÿ The fellow realized he might have injured the poor creature, so he opens the freezer door and extends his hand to get him out.?ÿ The parrot calmly stepped out onto the extended arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my language and actions.?ÿ I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior............and, might I ask, what the turkey did?"
I DO NOT want one of these for Christmas.

I resemble this, TOO MUCH.?ÿ So saith a guy who nearly broke a little finger yesterday while sliding a 50-lb block of salt into the preferred spot on the flatbed.?ÿ Ignore the kink.?ÿ I was born that way.?ÿ Kinky, that is.
