It was the SO's sister's birthday tonight. A night worthy of celebration. The sister was born in the year of the boar. If you know anything about Chinese zodiacs, boars or pigs don't really appreciate the beauty and majesty of monkeys like yours truly. The setting is Bonsai restaurant a Japanese sushi place. The monkey and the tiger arrived fashionably late.

Lo and behold, everyone was seated at one of those sunken tables. Though monkeys are nimble and dexterous, our particular hero monkey is not as nimble or never has been that nimble. Taking care not to splatter his face, the intrepid hero monkey climbed into the wooden contraption designed to weed out the non-nimble from the dexterous. With the care and attention, it took the monkey several minutes before being able to descend into the abyss.

The monkey began to play and pull the boar tail because the monkey figured that the boar really got away with having to host a party by staying silent. Passive aggressive anyone?

Since the boar had some pet cats, the monkey pulled the tail by suggesting cat dinery. A party participant suggested that siopao is the ideal way to prepare cat. The SO suggested that one could color code the siopao depending on which cat it was. So, the monkey said "Oh, I guess we need five colors. One for each cat."

The boar did not appreciate that remark.
