Don't worry spidey!

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A fancy dress party in new york would be a seemingly innocent affair if it weren't for some of those attending. Among the guests were a guy dressed as spiderman and a transvestite dressed as wonderwoman. Wonderwoman, possibly angry that spidy was a better superhero, chose to tell him that, in actual fact, he wasn't really spiderman. Spiderman, obviously, took offence at this and decided to proove wonderwoman wrong by climbing a nearby 20 foot lamp post only realising his fear of heights upon reaching the summit. the police were duly called and arraived, allong with the fire service, to hear wonderwoman, in her deep voice, saying 'don't worry spidey - we'll get you down'

An article can, apparently, be found on the matter in the new york times. Unfortunately, this was a story told me by a friend and i don't know exactly when it happened. i think spiderman deserves an honorable mantion simply for thinking he was spiderman in the first place.

Without a reference, I've got to call this a personal account, but it was amusing to visualize "Spiderman" having to be rescued from the lamp pole by firemen.

Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest

Hardback. 304 pages. Autographed.
$15
The human race's most popular humor series returns with a brand-new collection of macabre mishaps and misadventures. Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it, the Darwin Awards III shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.

Salute the sheriff who inadvertently shot himself--twice! Witness the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw! Heed the story of the farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag! Cringe at the man crushed by a branch he'd just severed... directly over his head!

123 new stories, 18 full-page illustrations, plus discussions of transgenic animals, the origin of life, and more.

Autographed by Author!
