The accident had been one of the most gruesome that The Henpeck County Fair had ever seen... You remember---it was in all the papers...
Ruddy Roddy, who was eleven years old at the time, got an arm caught in a taffy pulling machine, which subsequently drug his shoulder, head, and ultimately entire torso into the twisting, swirling arms of the machine. R.R.'s waist and legs were rushed to the local Mad Science Medical Center, where he was stablized. A few months later, Dr. Frastic McZoomer performed the world's first face transplant onto a body missing its torso---the experiment was paying 1 to 800 odds against at Starski's Games and Books (congrats to the few people brave enough to take those odds...)---and, as we all know, the procedure was eventually declared a complete success. (Dr. McZoomer is currently serving 27 life sentences for transplanting the faces of an entire baseball team onto the side of Mt. Clampdown---againsts the mountains' expressed wishes...)
It's been seven years since the accident, and Ruddy Roddy has moved on. He is currently working as a bar-stool at Pengo's Bingo Emporium during the week and taking accounting courses through an online university program, which he's hoping to complete in the next few months.
Well done, Ruddy Roddy! Way to keep your hopes up and move forward with your life, despite some fairly serious setbacks! Keep your head up.... Or whatever it is that you can do!!!! Woooo!!!
