If you ask me, this thing would make a great office toy. Of course, when I worked in an office, I was responsible for a few work areas wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic wrap. There were also several office toy 'incidents' involving hostages. Ah, those were the days …

I'm not the only one who has a concept of the 'office toy'. What better place than work to get back in touch with your inner child - the place where deadlines loom like scary monsters and people keep siccing them on you and they won't let you have your afternoon nap. If anyone tries to release a deadline monster, just shoot him or her with your handy-dandy Slingshot Monkey. That'll show 'em.

Slingshot Monkey wears a black cape and mask and has very stretchy arms. He also has little pockets in his hands that you tuck your two fingers into - not that you have only two fingers. You know what I mean. If you do have only two fingers on one hand (like the ice cream man who used to come to my neighborhood when I was a kid, and nearly made me break my neck on several occasions running for change), then it's a useful little toy.

Just tuck in your fingers, pull back on his legs, take aim, and send him flying and screaming for as much as 50 feet.

Yep, I said screaming. Isn't that just the coolest thing? If anyone is being a downer in your day, there is nothing like a flying, screaming monkey to set things straight. In fact, that works as a pretty good happy thought all on its own, come to think of it. Slingshot Monkey only costs about 7 bucks. Imagine that - happiness for only 7 bucks.
