don’t be stingy – they’re flea, after all

Flea bargaining?

Come on kid. You’ve seen one flea you’ve seen them all.

My dad has fleas?

Or … pretty soon … “No fleas for you!”

a literal nit-picker

“Now wait just a flea pickin’ minute!!”

Just pick them all and take them to the local flea market.

Isn’t he with the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Stop it, you’re tickeling me…..

Where is their picknit basket?

Stop monkeying around…

What a nit-picker.

What kind of dipping sauces do we have?

Nitwit.

You can’t fleas all the monkeys all the time.

I thought they didn’t pick fleas. I saw or heard they pick dead skin.

Stop monkeying around!

Better flea, kid!
