Sasquatch Helps Local Man Change Tire

"He Was Real Good With the Tools."

Local maintenance technician Glen Harding experienced the surprise of his life yesterday, when his truck got a flat tire outside Grand Rapids. He was on his way to deliver a piece of equipment to a customer, and found himself stranded in the early morning hours along US Highway 2, with little or no traffic.

He was struggling to change the front passenger side tire on the truck, when he heard a rustling noise in the spruce swamp behind him. Out of the stunted evergreens came something he never expected. Recent reports in the area of Bigfoot have been ridiculed as a hoax, but no more! Standing in front of Glen was a Sasquatch, nearly 9 feet tall according to the badly shaken mechanic.

There was nowhere to run, so Glen reported that he simply froze in his tracks, not sure what to do. Then, the giant beast picked up the flashlight Glen had dropped on the ground, and pointed it at the tire, grunting and gesturing at the lugnuts. Glen said, "It was just like my partner Chuck was there. That big hairy dude just held the flashlight for me while I changed the tire in the dark. It was the damndest thing I ever saw. He even smelled like Chuck, kinda."

In a few minutes, the tire was changed, and the Bigfoot set down the flashlight, and lifted the front end of the truck so Glen could remove the rather puny jack from under the vehicle. "It was like he was used to working with tools, really spooky!", said Harding.

Local manufacturers, shorthanded and looking for skilled workers have expressed an interest in hiring the Sasquatch. Glen simply said, "That's fine with me. He was real good with the tools. The only thing I can say is they will definitely need to make him wear some clothes. He might work and smell like Chuck, but I have to draw the line somewhere!"
