I enjoyed the deviousness of this fine Monoku, David. You say much about infidelity in just a single line. Best wishes, Brian

Thank you Brian, It is quite devious, this one takes a bit of figuring out, but I love the challenge of the monoku, cheers David

Great Monoku, David, when she looks him in the eyes as he takes his promise ring from his finger. If you can manage little tasks, you can handle major ones. It's OK to be a bit dishonest if you're doing something minor.. But if you're doing anything more significant, you won't be able to be fully honest. Good luck in the contest.

Indeed Lasaad, some to and fro going on with the implicit and explicit, he took the explicit look as understood, which in fact is implicitly implied, but he was the one being explicit by actually removing the wedding ring, thank you for looking in, cheers David

He certainly knew what he was doing Darlene, but a little more going on here with the play on words, cheers David

We men can be such fools. Well said!

Indeed we can Joe, although this one could possibly be reversed by some femme fatale, cheers David
