My name is Justin Abinanti and I am nonspeaking. I am most certainly verbal though. Many of my fellow nonspeakers are highly academic, but not me. I think I must have been born under a silly star. I’m eager to make it in comedy. I’ve given it thought and I am a born stand-up. Unfortunately the world is not quite ready for a stand-up comedian who cannot speak. Not being able to speak might hold some people back, but I am basically professionally resilient. Maybe I’ll never take over hosting the Tonight Show or starring at Caroline’s Comedy Club, but there are other ways to shine.

Thus my blog which gives me, a speller, a venue to comment on the idiocy, silliness, weirdness and hilarity of our world.

Monkey Heads

There is no accounting for taste.

In February, customs agents at Logan Airport in Boston discovered eight pounds of bushmeat in a passenger’s luggage. In case you’re not familiar with the term bushmeat, it refers to meat from animals that most of mankind doesn’t realize are food sources. (It does not refer to fruit from bushes or any parts of former presidents.) In this case, it was mostly dried monkey heads.

There aren’t a lot of recipes that call for monkey heads but I suppose for more adventurous people, they might try to vary some classic dishes: chimp scampi, chimp santorini, chimp cocktail…which goes nicely with a bold glass of ape juice.

Unfortunately for that budding chef, his eight pounds of deliciousness were confiscated. I reckon there are a few customs agents with monkey breath. After all, waste not, want not!
