Money Business

This morning, I misread the slogan on the back of a truck, which appeared to my pre-caffeinated eyes as:

LIKE MONKEY
IN THE BANK

And I wondered: how many other "money" expressions could be made much more entertaining with the addition of that golden k, as in komedy?

  • We're in the monkey
  • Shake your monkeymaker
  • "Monkey for Nothing"
  • "She Works Hard for the Monkey"
  • I'm not made of monkey

Note that the reverse operation ...

  • Money on my back
  • Money see, money do
  • Moneying around

... is not nearly as effective.
