| Hey Liz, Great luck! As I was surfing Google images for the Kenyan ancestors of Boobamba, I ran across something remarkable:
 Look at that photo! Isn't that a striking resemblance to the Boobamba we know? Well, it says in the album that this photo -- taken in 1912 -- is a photo of Boobamba's great great grandfather, Boobamba the 1st. It further says that Boobamba the 1st was a witch doctor in his local village. And following the strange rituals of the village, Boobamba could never treat a patient more than once. Apparently it was against the rules. Each family in the village had to rotate through various witch doctors -- to save costs. It says people at first complained about this policy but sooner or later accepted it as the village custom. The only trouble was: there ended up being more witch doctors in the village that regular villagers. Regardless, Boobamba the 1st was an elite witch doctor, highly skilled at removing splinters from fingers and performing many other delicate surgical procedures. Well as I read these facts, a flash came to my head! It dawned on me that the 21st century Boobamba (who many of us know affectionately as Zero) was basically trying to fulfill the Dreams of his Father -- his Great, Great Grandfather! Boobamba the 1st wanted to see a witch doctory spread to foreign lands. And that dream was fulfilled in ObamaCare! Of course, his great, great grandfather didn't have any vision that the Obamacare website wouldn't work. But that's to be expected since very few people at the time had personal computers. He only dreamed that some day that witch doctory would flourish and that doctors would have to rotate as was the custom in Kenya. So I thought I'd share this interesting news. It certainly helps fill in some of the blanks in Boobamba's colorful history. |
