Ninja monkeys are plotting my downfall!

Overheard at the the beach, where some macho guys were attempting to brave the freezing cold "summer" ocean:

Guy#1: I can't swim out there! I'm a smoker! Pack a day! I'll die!

(a few feet from sure on the return journey)

"I can't make it! Go on with out me! *Remember me as a heeeeeeeeeerrrrrooooooooo!*

Which impressed my brother no end, because there aren't any people who can perform ironic melodrama in freezing cold water.

My bug-on-the-wall problem has sparked an intense debate over the correct recitation of the following.

*ahem*

Fuzzy-wuzzy was a bear!
Fuzzy-wuzzy had no hair!
Fuzzy-wuzzy wasn't very
fuzzy. Wuz he?

My brother says the word "very" should be ommitted (Fuzzy-wuzzy wan't fuzzy.) He says the syllable count makes more sense that way.

*I* on the other hand, dragging out the podium of an English graduate student, maintain that a) syllables are fricking stupid and I don't care and b) its funnier that way and c) nyah nyah NYAH!

Come on now, English grad student. Even you can see that the "very" breaks up the alliterative humor, right? ;)
