Charley strode into the cavernous drafting room to announce the good news: Simionics had won the contract to design the DFW Airport!
Simionics, Incorporated was on a roll. The new job followed right on the heels of their last project - the Hartford, Connecticut interstate highway network.
Somebody once said that if you put an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters, eventually you’d end up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Simionics wasn’t quite that ambitious. They had 500 chimps, 500 drafting tables: just enough.
A hard-flung turd caught Charley on the chin. Fucking monkey business.
[The theme for Weekly Challenge #35 at the 100 Word Stories Podcast is, of course, Monkey Business. And anyone who has been to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport or who has driven the roads around Hartford knows exactly where I’m coming from.]
