Reasons I have a Manager

A woman tried to book me for a gig recently:

Woman: Would you be willing to travel to Guernsey?
Me: Do you have monkeys there?
Woman: What?
Me: Monkeys, you know, monkeys.
Woman: Err, no.
Me: Oh.
Woman: You're thinking of Gibraltar.
Me: Oh.
[Awkward pause. John fails to hide disappointment.]
Woman: So would you come?
Me: Well...
Woman: There's a zoo.
Me: Do they have monkeys?
Woman: Yes!
Me: Do they run around a lot?
Woman: Apparently.
Me: I'll think about it.
