The WIG Show

A Saturday morning at the flea market found George Bigby (Jeff) selling an assortment of action figure heads. Chris (called Terry) casually perused Bigby's table and eventually bought a Colonel Steve Austin head. Suddenly, Bigby recognized Terry...from an incident at summer camp years ago.

Little Terry (Chris) stood in his rainbow jumpsuit and rock-n-roller wig holding an acoustic guitar without strings. The entire population of Camp Ridgemont (a summer science camp for outstanding students) sat on the grass before him. As he began to play his original song about being different, harsh heckling began. One of the counselors, Weezy, tried to quiet them...and eventually dismissed everyone to have a heart-to-heart with Terry. Maybe Terry shouldn't try so hard to be a rocker at science camp. Maybe he should focus on being...a doctor.

Ron (Chris) showed up for his test results at Dr. Phillip's office with grave concern. He'd been called away from a church business meeting and told there was "bad" news. Unfortunately, Dr. Phillips was not there to meet him. Dr. Bennett was. And his test results were, in fact, ambiguously speculative. X-rays showed that Ron had so much excess body hair that it was now growing inside his body, wrapping itself around his rib cage, and causing him to have shortness of breath. The only cure for this would be a three day vacation.

Cheever's Bench was a replica of a fully functioning American colony, circa 1680. On this part of the walking tour, Mrs. Rosewater (Jeff) and the others were being taught about the harsh winters and home remedies of the day by a living history actor and tour guide (Chris). After dismissing the large group to the barn, the actor broke character and began complaining about his job to the old lady...who seemed empathetic, but enthusiastic about working at Cheever's Bench, too.

Jeff just wasn't cutting it on the job. And his boss (Chris) was meeting with him to give him his walking papers. But as the meeting progressed, Jeff revealed that he actually idolized his boss. In fact, many of the problems he had at work were because he was trying so hard to be just like him. Flattered, the boss offered to let Jeff keep his job if he could learn to act more like him. Sadly, Jeff's wooden leg prevented him from walking like a champion. So he was let go.
