This is definitely one news item that I want to hear on the air, preferably read by Deborah Norville or Paula Zahn. The combination of vocal quality and their little fake half-smiles would make that absolutely hilarious. “In aaather news today…” Heh. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eve \* > **Don’t you hate it when you grab the wrong bag at the airport, get to your hotel, and when you open it, instead of your clothes you find 66 pounds of baboon noses?** Yeah! And then you try to do the “right thing” by reporting it to the police, and what do they do? They bust **you** for baboon nose possession! Man. Those kinds of dirty police practices practically scream, “Don’t obey the law, keep the baboon noses for yourself.” Talk about “scoring some blow”… ---

But is anyone showing an ounce of sympathy for all those poor children of Nigerian immigrants who will now have to be told that there’ll be no baboon noses for Thanksgiving this year and they’ll have to eat turkey instead? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mangetout \* > \*\*The authorities underestimated the power of the open market, I reckon I could’ve sold them for more than £66 on eBay. \*\* I’m wondering how a Doper with the user name of \*\* Mangetout \*\*, which translates into “eats all” would know the price of baboon noses? Maybe he should just start a thread in Cafe Society about how to cook 66 pounds of baboon noses. This thread is killing me. Easy the funniest one of the year. ---
