Ya know, it could actually be part of the Nigerian Scam with a Godfather variant. Those who try to jerk around the scammers wake up one morning with a baboon nose under the covers… :eek:
:eek:
I take it that my order for “baboon nose tartar” will never arrive.
Probably was an Amiga user that found them too… 
I wonder why all those baboons wanted to spite their faces.
Anyway, I pity the poor workers who had to pick so many noses.
And I was starting to think Gwar had run out of things to dump on its audience.
I googled for a while for baboon nose, cure, medicine, recipe, heal, but came up with zip. I came across a lot of sites listing various concoctions to be cooled with baboon’s blood, but nothing for their schnozzes. What exactly do some people believe a baboon nose is supposed to cure or enhance in humans?
It gives a chilling new meaning to the old phrase “A nose from any other plane is still swell to eat.”
I prefer otter’s noses myself.
I think they might have a backup plan…(I’m a sick sick man :D)
I wonder how the police knew they were baboon noses? I’m a fairly educated person, but I couldn’t pick a ba—I mean, I couldn’t tell a baboon nose from a chimp nose from an orang-otang nose.
Policeman 1: “Crikey, cap’n—looks like we got us a suitcase full o’ baboon noses here!”
Policeman 2: “Why are you talking like that? We’re in Amsterdam!”
Dutch police are usually pretty wasted. Your head’s sometimes wired differently when stoned so they might have put two and two together and got “Wow, man”
Anyway, it’s no skin off anyone’s nose . . .
I think you’d know if the snout was attached. Baboons have really long snouts. Don’t some of them also have brightly colored skin around their noses, or am I think of mandrills?
I guess we’re lucky they weren’t baboon asses.
“Hey cap’n! It’s a suitcase full of lumps of bright red play-doh! Oh wait…”
OZ-ZY! OZ-ZY! OZ-ZY!
And a big shout out to gretchen, tommy, and andy. 
You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you shouldn’t pick your otter friend’s nose.
It occurs to me that maybe there is a clinic in Africa that snipped the baboons’ noses. In the U.S., people pay thousands to have this done.
An alternate theory: Maybe Michael Jackson is changing his looks again.
Just wanted to re-word the article cited in the OP to the slightly more humorous-sounding (emphasis mine):
As a native of that state, I’m someone who nose the answer to that:
Wisconsin
Baboon Noses?
No, I ordered Ballroom Roses!
I need a new cel phone.
