Hola! It's the first day of May, a day usually marked by warm breezes and sunny skies that your skin welcomes after 6 months of brutal winter. Unless of course you live in Hawaii like I used to where the constant warmth can lead some to go mad while in search of air conditioning, trade winds, shave ice, or the ocean. OK, so maybe it wasn't that bad but cereal was like 7 bucks a box.
So as I mentioned in the last post, it was my birthday last weekend. Always fun times. I traveled down to Hoboken, NJ where my roommate (i guess ex-roommate) had recently moved for a new job in the Big Apple. His parents helped him move so they decided it would be nice to take me out for a birthday dinner before I hit the bars with my friends. Did you know there is a bar in New York City that serves 16-ounce cans of Natural Light for only a few bucks and it smells exactly like a fraternity house? It was glorious.
I had duck for dinner and got to sit next to the great Ed Klingebiel (part-time dentist, part-time baker, part-time world traveler). He made a great observation while at dinner that I immediately thought was worthy of Jordon's Deep Thoughts post #101. He posed the following question, "Do monkeys only pick the ripe bananas when looking for food? And if so, how do they know they are ripe?" What a deep question. Have you ever tried to eat a banana that wasn't ripe yet? It's awful. Of course humans have the luxury of putting the bananas next to a refrigerator chock full of other goodies. Monkeys have bananas and more bananas. Does anyone have the number for Leaky's Angles so we can get to the bottom of this?
Look it up on Wikipedia...
