(300) Personal Archive 1
In the Spring of 1968, I was a student at the Brooklyn Technical high School. It was considered an honor to be chosen and to qualify to attend this local iconic educational institution. At that time, I was in my senior year, eagerly anticipating my graduation. My “Social Studies” teaches, Mr. Anger (no joke) asked our class to each write a speech addressing foreign affairs. Greatly influence by my jibberish speaking father, I proceeded to compose the following masterpiece, which I just “discovered” amongst some of my personal papers:
“When the extraculous brigations of the world occur in splorriel hendexity as they do today, we have no choice but to infalgitate the arblidationary staishics of our society. In this inflagitation, we must entrabulate all the brizzens to come up with the most cramdagulous leibocracy in dealing with these foreign problems. When we trabucate the problems facing us today, not only do we obtain a more strabacious view toward these problems, but we malumstrate them into a more briscandic hefexity”

I received a grade of “A+”. Thank You, Mr. Anger. You encouraged, in me, a sarcastic and cynical interpretation of politics and politicians that I, obviously, still hold today.

NOTE: Be aware that my computer, not understanding the complex yet subtle language of Jibberish, underlined all of the jibberish words in this speech in red, as well as the actual word “jibberish”.
