Wiggy Out




A friend of mine, a fellow grandfather but 20 years younger, made the front page of the statewide morning paper today for escaping from the hospital in the middle of a heart attack exam. He was brought to the hospital by two prison guards having recently been incarcerated for some bullshit burglary stuff.
This grand pop a go go is known by friends as “Wiggy” and he is about 5’4” of Indian decent and can vanish like a Coyote Trickster of Indian Mythology.
Wiggy was about to change back from his hospital gown after a series of tests but as the rooster crowed and the break of dawn the guards looked around and Wiggy was gone.
Wiggy can be easily identified by eight suction cup marks on his chest in case you’re looking for leads. Get it?
I guess these guards failed the "take the criminal to the heart exam test" and will be returned to the tower for high powered scope rifle duty.
If I were searching for Wiggy, which I’m not, I’d check all local wigwams and wig shops and corners were wigged out people hang.

Stay tuned but my guess is it will take more than a Tom Tom GPS to track the trickster Wigster.

Freddogg,

What am I missing here? The "Wigster", as you affectionately refer to him, is an escaped accused or convicted felon. Why would you waste your time writing about such a person when there are people who really deserve your attention?

With all the people you know there has to be at least one who deserves to have their story told by you. I mean one that truly did their best to play by the rules but came up short. Or how about one that overcame great odds to succeed?

What's your mission, Freddogg, to make purposeful losers feel better about themselves, or to relieve some of your own guilt for failing them as a mentor when they might have benefitted from some solid, winning advice? Let me guess, when you had a chance to encourage him to toe the line, do the right things, and persevere, instead you suggested doing whatever made him feel good, right?

But don't depair, there is still time for you set the record straight. Have you ever considered that the only reason your sorry butt is still here on earth is to do what you know is right, even if for a relative few years?

C'mon Freddogg, raise the bar while you still can. There is much you can do for people, but not if you're stuck trying to be some self-indulgent Richard Brautigan wannabe. I personally believe you have much more than that to offer.

The Messenger
 
Messenger you have some serious issues I am your friend it is for life and that includes a 23 year old currently in pretrial after six armed robbery.
How to you waver and wonder into deciding who is worthy?
 
Geeze Louise!! Don't you get it Messenger? Freddogg is just blowing off steam, writing some funny (I think) stuff, whatever pops into his head at the moment. Get over your high-horsed self already! Why must you overanalyze everything Freddogg writes?
