The larger one took it, broke it in half and gave a piece to the small monkey.

Where did the phrase “one monkey don’t stop no show” get its wings?

Lower down the treeline were the debaters, the raters and the tattoo artists.

Some moves are made for chess, other moves are made for life.

When all has been tried, to the finite degree, then the next move should be off the board.
