... the smelling salts finally took hold. He came out of his psychedelic coma with a spasmodic jerk, startling the nurse's aide who had been assigned to care for him. The aide pushed the ever-handy nurse's call button, then proceeded to comfort Bugs Pond (our hero!). "Hang in there, buddy, you'll be OK", soothed the aide. Bugs, aware that his status as super-hero would be in severe jeopardy if anybody ever found out that a mere nurse's aide could comfort the world's bestest ever super-hero, jumped off the white-sheeted bed and ran to the window. "5 floors up", muttered Bugs. The nurse's aide reacted as any nurse's aide would under similar circumstances. "Don't!", yelled the aide, as Bugs threw the visitor's chair through the window, smashing it (the window, not the chair) into several sharp shards (knowing full well that there aren't any shards that aren't sharp). Bugs elbowed the aide across his nose, knocking him out immediately (that defensive elbowing course sure comes in handy sometimes). He then "borrowed" the aide's clothes and slipped out the now shattered window, being careful not to cut himself on the sharp edges. (sharded edges?) The little girl playing in the apartment across the street from the hospital said to her Mommy, "Look at that funny man playing SpiderMan! Why is his Spidey uniform white?" The girl's mother absent mindedly said, "Oh, you and your imagination. Now, pick up your toys, it's time for your nap". She made a mental note to herself to restrict her daughter's movie viewing to those movies with a more believable story line. Like, The Lion King. Meanwhile, Bugs Pond (our hero!) was climbing his way up the side of the hospital, making use of that handy dandy drain pipe. Huh? Climbing UP ???? You didn't think a super-hero would take the OBVIOUS escape route, did you?
