====== Tibbi Manti Hutmanahun ======

Commonly known as 'Fools and Alms', the Tibbi Manti Hutmanahun are a [[Tarvuist]] organisation devoted to Tarvuic entertainment.

Tibbi Manti Hutmanahun was set up in 1911 by flamboyant [[Tarvuist]] George 'Centrefold' Ben-Ennet, in New York.

Starting with only $10 in his pocket, he set out to "create the most perfect entertainment grouping in all of religious history" (from 'George By Name': Memories of a Tarvu's Boy, Carlton press, 1957).

Ben-Ennet began by setting up a chain of 'speakeasies' in New York, in which Tarvuists (and non-Tarvuists) could eat, drink and sing [[Tarvuist]] songs, while enjoying top quality Tarvuist entertainment. These venues were known as 'Georgies'.

===== Some well-known Georgies' entertainers =====


  * Loretta Linberry - Singer and acrobat, who would balance 100 copies of the Tarvunty (Grosvenor Edition) on her bosoms.  
  * (We Got the) Givil Swing - Jazz group led by Priestmunty Robbb.
  * The Four o' clock Surgeons - Magic act performed by 400 magicians in unison
  * Mr Bigg - The largest (and widest!) Tarvuist scholar, who lectured on Tarvuism, but in     song form.
  * When Duty Calls - Amzamiviramic priestmunty barbershop quintet

Soon, the Georgies were big business, and with it, membership to [[Tarvuism]] grew. 

Then the depression hit, and sadly, by the mid 1930's, all the Georgies had closed down (with the exception of 'Georgie Town - the largest and original Georgie in New York which is still there to this day). Nevertheless, Ben-Ennett streamlined his organisation, and today the Tibbi Manti Hutmanahun concentrate on official Tarvuist exhibitions, Parventies and Thulibs. They also arrange the entertainment for [[High Pri'stm'nty Jon-John Torvakian]]'s birthday parties.

Ben-Ennet died of viral pneumonia in 1967.
