We both watched silently as the ugliest hariest beast I had ever seen crept past the window. "That's him?"

"I..I..I'm not sure", she stuttered. "All gibbons look a bit alike, don't they?"

"But that one's quite distinctive", I said.
"It's wearing a fedora and carrying a book by Nietzsche" |

"That's amazing! I never notice such things - that's why you're a PI and I'm not, I suppose", she giggled.

"That's right", I told her. "The thing I can't figure out though, is how he crept past the window when we're 4 stories up"!

"Maybe he used a bat-rope from his utility belt," she mused. "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is she?" I remembered thinking.

And did a double-take; why was I remembering something as it was happening? The answer was obvious.

I pressed the reset button, removed the cable from the back of my skull, and the direct brain insertion virtual reality simulation ended. But to my amazement I found the buxom blonde and the angry ape standing in front of me, looking quizzically in my direction holding, respectively and surpisingly, a banana and a pair of stilettos.

"Who are you, how did you get in here, what are you doing in the Private Investigators Training School and is that banana loaded?" I asked. (And yes, we do call this place the pits.)

Luckily I knew how to defend myself against fresh fruit. But wait...had we done bananas? (and was it fresh?)

"No," said the blonde but the rest of her words were drowned out by a gunshot and pain ringing in my ears. Damn, I thought as I collapsed in front of the smoking stilettos the ape was holding, I really should have done the course on how to protect yourself from a stiletto in the hands of a primate.

As I drifted out of consciousness, two mad images drifted in and out of my mind. A newsprint photo of a man in uniform, under the headline "REGICIDE!" and Groucho Marx singing Lydia, The Tatooed Lady."

Some time later, don't ask me how much, I ungummed my eyelids and looked up into the ugliest moniker I had ever seen. Then I turned from the mirror and there she was again, minus the ape.

My superior powers of observation also noted that she was minus her dress."Uh oh." I silently quipped, "This can only mean one thing!"

"Laundry day again?" I asked.
Passing her my spare, incase of emergency, super fluffy, travel robe. |
