Quiet Rufus

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

In 17th Century Prose, the seemingly befuddled character Quiet Rufus, originally coined by the prominent Germanic circus trapeze artist "Moderate Nbungu Jones", pops up in a number of disparate literary works, including:

• Quiet Rufus Goes Forth (1645)
• Quiet Rufus Has a Picnic (1654)
• Quiet Rufus Does it Again (1655)
• Quiet Rufus Shakes Down the Boogie Two Time (1675)
• Quiet Rufus in the Case of the Missing Arrows (1677)

The length of time between the penning of Quiet Rufus Does it Again and the subsequent work just displays the audacity with which Quiet Rufus does indeed Shake Down the Boogie Two Time, baby.

[edit] Moderate Nbungu Himself

Although the man himself remains shrouded in mystery, the few shreds of parchment that dictate Moderate N. Jones' existence can be viewed (with great personal verissimilitude) at the Frankfurt International Airport's Secret Literary Storage Area, located just next to McDonalds.

Born to impoverished members of a Flying Monkey Troupe in the burning deserts of the Sahara, N. Jones was able to overcome his adverse beginnings to become one of the most highly regarded artists (both in literary works and trapeze skills) of his age. His trademark wit and deadpan humour has since inspired countless writers including Porky McFadden, Reggie O B O, and Stephen "King" Jones (who is believed to be a direct descendent of the trapezemeister himself).

The circumstances surrounding his death are still not fully understood to this day, it seems that it was a tiger driven to the brink of insanity by heat stroke combined with LSD consumption that eventually brought Nbungu to his grisly death, just 105 years after his birth. Quite what he was doing in the tiger research facility at LSD Heights, Beijing, is still uncertain although close friends of Jones' often described him as a 'real hit' with the tigers.

[edit] Quiet Rufus' impact on Modern Literature

The evidence for the lingering influence of Moderate Nbungu's charming character who was instantly accessible to children and adults alike but often inadequately equipped with trousers, is such that graffiti still appears on the streets of Philadelphia Town, proclaiming "Rufus Lives, OK?" and "Rufus Rocks my Socks, OK?". However, Rufus' escapades have even influenced modern writers of great standing, such as Tom Clancy (displayed by his seminal espionage thriller: "Quiet Rufus Meets Jack Ryan").
