Carl Suspects Some Monkey Business

“I guess I’m supposed to tap here… Erm, no… So maybe if I slide my finger like this… Nope. Y’know, I’m beginning to think this thing I bought isn’t a real iPhone.”

    That’s OK. The coverage for Coconutel is awful here in the jungle. You just never can get a bar.

    This little dude’s face looks so serious! Maybe he got a banana-phone instead.

      What’s this about a “joint”, Fird?

      • Theo says:

          oh, I’m tryin’ tuh be all hip like Spike Lee even tho I’m as caucasian as marshmallow floof ….. in the credits for (some of?) his films, he id’s his production company or the film itself as a “Spike Lee joint” …

          not the Mary-jane kind of joint.

          I don’t think.

          Signed,
          I saw “She’s Gotta have it ” in a suburban theater, fairly early for a white gurrrl ……

    He’s all serious ’cause his girlfriend Lulu friend zoned him yesterday & now she just updated her status as “in a relationship”, with his best friend Rex. ;-)

  8. O Nooooooo, Carl!!! Looks like you’ve been had! How much did you (lose) pay??
    Well, enough monkeying around….: Wut you must do now is to find your closest credit bureau’s phone # and complain at length…;
    (Wonder if they accept any nasty comments from monkeys??..
    Carl will soon find out!!) :mrgreen:

    He’s all thumbs. (the cats are jealous)

  11. Mudbug says:

    Is that a banana in your phone or are you just happy to talk to me ?

  12. Angel says:

    Carl is trying to get on Facebook to see what monkeyshines his friends/family are up to

  13. fleurdamour says:

    That’s just the hardshell phone case – he’s really got an iPhone 5.

  14. Lewis n' Clark says:

    See? Once again, it’s always a Carl who gets in trouble on CO, usually in a NTMTOM post. Wonder if NTMTOM has an annoying brother named Carl in his life – NTCTOC
