Simon Sigorski, the Shakin’ Spooky Skeleton
Simon Sigorski was, on the surface, a quiet man. He went to work early in the morning like most people, put in his time, never bothered anyone and then went home to his three cats. What happened next, no one could ever guess. Simon … loved to dance. He was a fan of most music and found he could shake his bootie to just about all of it, at any pace. While we would never discourage someone from expressing themselves, especially in a moment of purity such as this, it must be noted that Simon was a poor dancer. Remember when Crispen Glover danced his ass off in Friday the 13th Part IV? Simon aspired to be that good. When Simon passed away suddenly one day, his body was donated to science and his skeleton found its way to a school of medicine. By day, students would memorize all the bones … with Simon’s help. At night, Simon lifted himself off his hook and took to the grounds just beyond the dorms and frat houses, and on most nights, the students gifted his cavernous skull with all manner of music wafting from their windows. Of course, Simon could not help but dance.
You shake that bony butt, Simon!
