Oshkosh, WI – Local bank teller Arthur Schmidt has been stuck wearing an Uncle Howdy costume since Halloween.
The 29-year-old dressed as his favorite WWE wrestler on October 31st. Joined by his friend,s who were dressed as the rest of The Wyatt Sicks stable, Schmidt attended a costume party at Cocktail Corner Bar & Grill on North Sawyer Street.
It was not until he returned home when he realized that his mask was stuck.
“I used theater-grade spirit gum to keep the mask from falling off,” explained the wrestling fan. “I guess it must’ve had some sort of chemical reaction to my skin cream or something because now I can’t get it off. I can’t even get spirit gum remover from Amazon.”
“It’s been pretty awkward looking like Uncle Howdy at the supermarket or picking up my kids from school,” admitted Schmidt. “Everyone has been avoiding my line at the bank. Apparently, no one wants to deposit money or get rolls of quarters from the guy that was appeared at the end of the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match.”
When asked why he continued to wear the top hat, wig, and clothing, Schmidt said “Well, I don’t want to look like a weirdo.”
