By Any Other Name

 The first Atomic Bomb was originally codenamed Busboy, but changed at the request of Edward Teller, atomic scientist and part-time busboy. Teller bussed at a bar called The Little Boy Blues CafĂ©. Teller spent the last years of his life decoding ancient glyphs he discovered in New Mexico. They hinted at the destruction of the world by a giant, mushroom-headed busmonster, who will “clear the table of the worldfeast,” and “throw away the foodscraps (man) of the Great Badger.”

And all His Saints

Curator Fabrizio Mancinelli was first to notice Dominic, patron Saint of Basket weavers, gravediggers, and busboys in The Last Judgement.

Experts agree the Sistine Chapel is riddled with busboy symbolism.

Turmoil and Trouble

Recent upheaval in the Middle East will come as no surprise to those who know busboy history. Remember the Busser Rebellion in 1499? Or the Busboy Crusade, 1155? Or go all the way back to Moses, leading the Israelites out of bondage. Moses was found floating down the Nile in a reed bustub. True fact.
