All the monkeys were present and accounted for in the zoo. He finally got off the drugs.
The market cap for Hand Held Aviary (NASDAQ HHAV) is double that of Bush Born Birds (NASDAQ BBBI). |

Ok, the second one is related to 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'.
I have no idea about the first one!
(is it something about the expression 'having a monkey on your back', meaning drug addiction?). |

When the incubation period is finished, the yield may be less that that projected. |

Due to too great a divergence of opinion amongst the culinary experts, the soup was unplatable. |

The past can haunt you, it is best to let things go: I see it at jongmyo from the oldest original span there...all those wish coins, but it's more than cash flow |

Remember, you have to phrase it as if it was resolved:
So:
"When the incubation period is finished, the yield may be less than that projected."
Should be:
"When the incubation period was finished, the yield was less than that projected."
But good work, especially the duck one. |

Althought it appeared that it might be effective, it turned out that a lachrymose response to the accidental dispersion of the product of lactation, proved futile. |
