Grease Monkey #1
Tom Bedenbaugh	Posted: August 25, 2000 08:01AM

I was only quoting a line from the Jerry Sienfeld show. One Elaines boy friend said when she referred to him as a grease monkey. It was funny when he said it. I guess it had something to do with the look on his face.

I'm not a Seinfeld fan, so I didn't pick up on the allusion. That happens to me from time to time. Somebody makes a reference to a popular tv show (one I don't watch) & I have no idea what they're talking about.
Just glad you were kidding & weren't really offended.

DO I REMEMBER THAT. It was on Saturday Night live back in the late 70's. That was in my HD days and we use to eat those special brownies and smoke those left handed cigs. Needless to say he would put us rolling on the floor.

No problem Jerry. Oh by the way thanks for the history of the term. I had'nt heard that before. I had to tell my partner at work that story,and he hadn't heard it either.

It was along about that time that SNL was banned on WPSD-TV in Paducah, KY and I couldn't get it any more. The mayor's name was Dolly something; go figure.

Shortly afterward they caught a guy trying to smuggle books into Kentucky, but he got off on a technicality.

Nobody could PROVE they were books!

its not important, but i think the name of the show was "Friday's"....it was kind of a spin-off or competition to SNL.

Another Monkey Saying #11
Ted	Posted: August 25, 2000 08:42PM

I've got another monkey saying "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" (used a lot up here) The history of the saying is not dirty. Like many saying in English it's nautical, the device which held the cannon balls on British War ships was called the "monkey" when it got really cold the brass would contract enough that the cannon balls would fall off. Hence the saying, I love this stuff, just more litter for my head.

Whew! I thought you were going to refer to the monkey term relating to the front section of a house.

I didn't know about the nautical angle. I thought it came from pawnbrokers. That 3 brass balls symbol is called a "brass monkey."
