Monkey Business

“Couldn’t we have picked somewhere else to stay?” Geri complained. “There’s no elevator. It smells like feces and the owner’s face is scratched up. Remember that undercover special where they used a black light over the room?”
“This place is cheap,” Dan answered.
Their luggage wheels rolling on the wooden floor echoed in the long hallway until they stopped in front of “Room 424”.
“Here we are,” Dan said, pushing the key into the lock.
When the door swung open, the chimps crawling around the room howled at the intruders. Dan slammed the door shut.
“Alright, new place,” he said.

I guess you get what you paid for. The chimps were a nice twist
Thanks for reading!
I wonder how much the chimps paid for their room? And will it cover the damage they’re likely to cause. This doesn’t sound like a well thought out business model, does it?
(Funny story! I like it.)
Chimps are truly destructive forces
Ha! Geri knew it wasn’t the right place. Nice writing.
Thank you!
I definitely didn’t see that one coming! No monkeying around for you.
Sounds like the motel from hell. Should have used the AAA book!
Gotta love that AAA book. I recently learned you’re eligible for all kinds of awesome discounts if you have a AAA membership
It’s true. Well work the money if only for the security if you have a car problem but the discounts are a plus.
I didn’t expect monkey business…

A motel room with chimps and smell of feces… Did they have hourly rates as well (my worst experience)..
Hourly rate motels? Definitely sounds like a bad experience
I’d be out of there, too! Good one. Smell of feces, no thanks!
Yeah, they should have left with the first hint of feces
This is so funny to me because my hubby is so cheap on places to stay. The kids howled all through their childhoods about his choices. Our last trip West, I am sure we staying in the Bates motel. So when that door opens and he backs out…well, I got a double chuckle.
Cheaper is not always better!
i did not pay enough attention to the title. my mistake that i didn’t take it seriously! that’s a big surprise. nice job.
Thank you sir. Easy to write when the prompt is such a wonderful photo…hint hint
hint taken. thanks back atcha.
Dear H.L.,
Five star rating for the last line. Says it all. Great story this week.
Aloha,
Doug
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words
Cheap and chimps! Sounds like a plan to me… Nice one, original take.
Thanks!
I’d be shopping around for another hotel, H. L.
In the immortal words of Heston, “Damn them. Damn them all to hell!”

One of my favorite movies of all time. I watched the 2011 reboot the other night and it’s nothing compared to the original.
I agree with Dan. Nice comical scene! I enjoyed this
Glad you enjoyed it!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yes, I should think so! Good stuff.
Thank you!
Haha…Thanks for the chuckle.
My pleasure! Thanks for reading
Hahahahaha!
A funny silly story.
