Those
were all fun things, but there was one
prank that went awry. There was that
one night we had played Mortal Kombat
until the wee hours and switched off
to relax with Conan before drifting
to sleep. Then that face dawned on the
screen, round like the sun, but much
larger - Sally Struthers. We thought
it would be funny to order Keyz a Guatemalan
child, and laughed about it long after
getting off the phone. We forgot about
it by the next morning, and never told
Keyz until he walked into our room about
two weeks later with Umberto.
We laughed for several minutes, then
felt a little bad, then tossed Umberto
in the garbage and made for the caf.
Then something happened.
You remember Fisher? The mohawk guy?
Well, I have recently found out that
Fisher pulled Umberto out of the trash
and has been corresponding with him
ever since.
When I came across this picture online
today, I immediately recognized our
little guy. Gentlemen, you know I'm
as much for ignoring the plight of my
fellow man as much as the next guy,
but I think we owe this kid something.
Besides, I hear that just $1.00 a week
from each of us will buy Umberto some
booze to go with that smoke.
Please. Join with me. Together we can
make a difference in the life of this
little boy.
