The Yeti

I've always been skeptical about the existence of the mythical beast, the Yeti. I'd sit around the bar at night and listen to the locals talk with reverence about the beast who lived in the hills. They'd lower their voices and speak in hushed tones whenever they spoke of the Yeti. I would throw my head back and laugh like a maniac. They all stared at me in anger. They despised my cavalier attitude and the way I dismissed their beliefs. The other night Joe Berdidnick finally had enough. He stood up and screamed at me, "Damn you Ratzenhofer! The Yeti does exist and I have the proof." I chuckled as Joe staggered out into the night and raced toward his pickup truck. When he returned he was carrying a manilla envelope. Looking me straight in the eyes he said, "I was skiing last winter with my niece and nephew. I was busy making some adjustments on my skis when I heard them scream. Looking up I was horrified to see the Yeti approaching them. I grabbed my camera and took a quick picture. The bulb scared him off but my niece and nephew still have nervous twitches and they can't sleep at night. Have a look, Ratzenhofer, and see if you still laugh when the subject of the Yeti comes up."
He extracted a photo from the envelope and handed it to me.
My blood ran cold. I believe I am an expert at determining if a photo has been doctored or not, and ladies and gentlemen of A2K, I'll say this with absolute certainty.... this photo is real!

The Yeti is among us.
