Justin is known to be a ninja and a
happy member of the Jelly of the
Month Club. His hobbies include
swimming in shark-infested waters,
base jumping from the top of
playground monkey bars, and
playing table tennis. Justin can be
found fighting crime by making
jaywalkers use the crosswalks and
making sure tags have not been
removed from mattresses. He takes
a pretty picture, too.
