This is just little story. Once upon a time there lived a happy princess. She lived among the apes and crocodiles in a humid jungle. One day a small platoon of marines came to her door and asked for a cup of sugar. Well, she had none so she had to run to the market.
The market was crowded because it was senior animal day and all the elderly creatures of the jungle were in with their social security checks. The happy princess became less and less happy as she stood in the long lines at the check-out counter. She looked around her to find anything to lighten her mood when she spied a tabloid that bore a huge headline.
“Happy Princesses Less Likely to Marry” the headline cried. The happy princess snatched the paper from its stand and quickly read the article. “That does it,” she thought. “From now on I will be a bitter princess.”
Then the bitter princess left the grocery and headed home. There she found the marines waiting for her.
“Where is our sugar?” they asked.
“Get it yourself. I’m bitter” she replied.
Needless to say this did not go down well with the marines so they mowed her down with their machine guns.
The next day a tabloid could be found on newsstands declaring, “Bitter Princesses More Likely to Die by Firing Squad.”
The moral of this tale: If you could play poker with a monkey why wouldn’t you?
