SPUD
escapes!!
After being held captive
against his will for nearly two months, Spud managed to foil his kidnappers
in an elaborate escape from the basement of a sweat shop in Singapore
where he was held. The potato was forced to make running shoes, along
with hundreds of other captives, for Kathie Lee Gifford.
For
weeks the tuber planned his escape. Knowing that the trade of organs for
transplant was big business in the underworld of the black market, Spud
managed to sell his eyes and his left arm in exchange for a passport.
Fortunately, he had replacements!
He kept his eyes peeled on the thugs responsible for his incarceration…waiting for the perfect opportunity. His big break came when he hid in a shipment of rejected insoles bound for Taiwan. Knowing his absence would be detected quickly, he managed to jump from the container moments before being loaded onto a freighter.
The traveling orb wasted no time in fleeing the country. Hailing a taxicab, he raced to the ferry terminal that would take him to safety in nearby Bintan, Indonesia.
The
experience left Spud rattled. He had lost more appendages on this excursion
than any other. Aching to recover, he checked into Hotel Sedona where
he tried to unwind next to the resort's immense pool.
It
didn't take long before Spud was himself again as he wrestled up a game
of poker with some of the locals. Fortunately, they didn't know the game
too well and the intrepid tuber beat the shirts right off them - not to
mention their billfolds!
