GOOBEROLOGIST

A new addition to the Big Book of Bunkum:

gooberologist (n.) a peanut bag inspector hired by petting zoos to ensure proper protocols are followed by pesky pre-pubescent perambulators known to frequent the monkey cages

e.g. As Edwina Trillian and her seventeen solace-inclined siblings stepped out of their baubled, bangled and breathtakingly boring but heavily beaded spaceship christened “Kitschy 50s”, they realized they were in for a postmodern pithy moment if not a subterranean surprise when they were greeted by a sassy shorn sheep with the mutton moniker “Patsy” (who insisted on giving everyone love-bites they didn’t ask for or need), an erudite fallen angel with a bent halo who expounded on the virtues of consuming soy bean nuts and low-carb boneless chicken TV-dinners, and a blue-uniformed, gold-braided gooberologist by the name of General Pouffe (who insisted on searching their duffle bags for five crapping birds, four missing monkeys, three French henpeckers, two taciturn trolls and a merry-impaired munchkin from a nearby petty zoo).
