When I was a wee lad, I told my pa I wanted to play the buffoon. “No, wait. I mean the baboon.” “You mean a bassoon, son. Well, your hands are too small to play a bassoon. How about an oboe?” “What?! You want me to play a tramp? You told me to stay away from those guys!” “Son, it’s time to wash up for dinner. We’ll talk about this later.” I never brought it up again. I wish I had. I could have traded it. Just yesterday, in the newspaper, an ad offered a used Honda Civet. “$4700 or OBOE” Drat. ---

Boy howdy, baboon nose on a Ritz. Goooood cracker! Maybe Ted the Food Guy on GEFTSG should encorporate this into one of his “easy” food preps. “Just take the baboon nose, preferably the nostrils, put them on a piece of flat bread, a little fennel on top, and voila - a perfectly elegant snack!” ---
