Polish proverb

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

I don't know if this is really a polish proverb, seems unlikely but it was sent to me as such. Thought I'd share

Every time you feel yourself getting pulled into other people's nonsense,

Repeat these words

Not my circus

Not my monkeys!

 

[Marsha Cassada]

I gave up my opinion one year for Lent. Sure helped me realize how often I told people what I thought when they never even asked me!

 

[Minimor]

I love that saying.

The only difficulty comes when you are the person that is supposed to be training those monkeys!!

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Minimor, you must live a very interesting life, but yes, if they are your monkeys you have a problem

 

[Minimor]

No no no ... NOT my monkeys, but if I am expected to train even one of those monkeys...sigh.

Not sure interesting is the word for it.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Hehehe, well you must be good at it. Can I send my monkeys to you, you don't mind right, you have plenty of experience in their training and I am sooo bad at it.

 

[Minimor]

I dunno...I would, but my patience has worn a little thin! LOL Monkeys are so tiresome...especially those big know it all baboons. Maybe if you only have monkeys and no big know it all baboons....want to trade?

I can't find anyone willing to trade, but I keep trying.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

No, no know it all baboons left today. I sent those off yesterday, you just missed them. Today I just have the big dumb apes and a couple of noisy chimps.

 

[Minimor]

LMAO It's the weekend, I'm good as I am until Monday!

Thanks for the chuckle after reading everything! Made my day,

 

[Minimor]

Not my circus not my monkeys

Not my circus not my monkeys

Not my...oh shoot, it's not helping

I HATE MONKEYS!!!!

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Oh Oh, your monkeys are back... is it the baboons again?

Something I want to know... where the heck is the circus ? Lots of monkeys but I don't see no dang circus - there ought to be clowns.

 

[Minimor]

Oh Ho Ho so now you want clowns?

I can tell you, I got clowns too.

No elephants or trapeze artists though.

And a squirrel. Can't be a circus--because circuses don't have squirrels.

Well whatever it is, like the circus--it's not mine!

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Well, the monkeys can be a bit squirrelly but the lack of elephants is a weighty issue.

and yes darn it... I want clowns!

 

[Minimor]

Let's just say--if it were my circus and my monkeys... I would stuff the monkeys into the cannon and use double the powder!!!

Buh-bye monkeys!!

Mwahahahahaha

Happy Friday. You totally just turned my day around. Not that I was worried about the monkeys.... more about the poo they were flinging!

 

[Minimor]

See, my solution eliminates monkeys AND the poo!

And at least I can smile as I picture them flying through the air!

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Still want clowns!! Maybe they could clean up the poo and load the cannon.

 

[secuono]

I'm Polish and never heard my family say that. But then, they don't usually use proverbs, they just say it straight and blunt. :/

 

[Minimor]

Woo HOO!!! Good news!

NO MORE MONKEYS!!!

It is such a funny story...
