One night, gus was passing through Tomball. He stopped by and asked if he could use the facilities. I gave him a local newspaper and sent him out back. He returned from the outhouse, sans shirt. I am not easily startled or surprised, so I did not initially react. Then, I spied on his torso, what he calls his "cattoo."

One evening, as I was dressed to the nines in stockings and stilettos and about to step into a cab on the way to dinner with some friends, I spied a suspicious looking person ducking in and out of doorways looking surreptitiously behind him as he dodged. I recognized d that scraggly beard so I took a closer look. He was wearing a black Spy coat and a crazy straw hat. I did a double-take then looked at the pants below the coat. Yes, blue denim, encased in muddy rubber boots. I think gus is a spy, yes I do. What he was doing in Vancouver I'll never know but I think his disappearances mean he's on assignment somewhere. He shouldn't have posted his pic on A2K if he didn't want to be recognized, though, so I don't think he's much of a spy. That and his outfit - dead giveaway.
He needs to come back here and 'fess up.

He tried to visit me one day, but Brunhilde and Siegfried didn't want to
walk that far to crazy California.
He then swung onto his tractor to drive out here, but alas that old thing
broke down. So it wasn't in the stars...

I must apologize to Gus. That cat tatoo shows he's much more refined that I thought.

When our family came to the United States in the 1950's, Gus was working as a gardener for one of our neighbors.

Nah, you haven't read enough mysteries, CJ - it's always the butler. The gardener is always a guy who is the red herring.

Well, of course!
She invited him here initially.
It's all her fault!

Well then we have to thank dlowan
There are only a handful men here who are humorous (as opposed to
the many many women), we sure need a dosage of gustav now and then.

There is such a literary twist to his baderdash and I can envision him dipping a quill into the ink and making history. I can see it on the best seller list in the New York Times.
"Tales of a Stringer in the Saginaw Swamps"
Lordy Jane, I hope he hasn't fallen into a sink hole.

I admit, Gus is a very funny guy. I'm sure he's reading this thread and enjoying every minute of it.

Naw Edgar that's not him. His hair is much longer with a sexy part and he looks dynamite in a three piece suit.
I don't know about the monocal tho. Kinda affected.
