The monkey on the left, while protesting, keeps giving her keeper a rock.

Keep that in mind.

The bosses would see this as a great thing. Sure, they won't enjoy getting covered with metaphorical cucumbers, but they still get the work done for them. Plus, they get to keep the metaphorical cucumber that's thrown back at them. What's not to love? They'll keep doing that until the monkey actually stops giving the rock.

Then Hostess happens.

The question would be whether you can convince the one getting cucumber to enjoy it alcibiades_mystery Nov 2012 #19

Cucumbers have less sugar than grapes, so you probably could not. JDPriestly Nov 2012 #27
