“Alfred, you’ll catch a cold!” says The Monkey
“Hey Alfred, over here!” says The Monkey.
“Are you listening to me?” says The Monkey.
“Suit yourself, Alfred!” says The Monkey

I don’t know much about this guy. Neither does Uncle Boris.
Uncle Boris met him at a reception following the opening of an art show. The art show was put in by a friend of his who integrated surrealism with the making of bagels.
Both Uncle Boris and this guy were both admiring, “The Causative Effect Of Interstellar Travel Upon Vegetable Cream Cheese As Perceived By A Grey Rabbit.”
Uncle Boris thought it was a bunch of hooey but still found it interesting. So did the stranger.
Always the gentleman, Uncle Boris invited the stranger home for dinner with the family.
Uncle Boris did not know this stranger had been hitting the jug wine at the reception pretty hard.
Uncle Boris also did not know that this stranger was a performance artist who expressed existential despair by telling inappropriate jokes at family gatherings.
The product of this stranger’s artistic medium was creating disturbed facial expression on polite company at the dinner table.
I might love art but it wasn’t long before Uncle Boris and I expressed our own existential despair by booting him out the door.
