The Wicked Witch of Key West

There was serious concern today that I ran over the Wicked Witch of Key West while out on tour in the Everglades. Friend and fellow guide Dwayne of the East reminds all wicked witches that you don't mess with safari guides. The witches well-tanned toes must have shriveled up and disappeared before we noticed her thong-sandal under the wheel of my van.

  5. If the thong was synthetic, that's alright. It may be the Wicked Witch.
    If it was tin, then that is the "Tin Man" and that is my uncle. THAT'S BAD!!!
    aaarrrRRRR!! YO HO HO

    Trivia: Did you know a stage hand committed suicide by hanging himself in the movie during the scene as Dorothy & crew skipped down the yellow brick road? It's still in the movie and can be seen in the top left corner with him swinging across with the rope around his neck.

  7. No offense to the FLPirate, but being a "Wizard of Oz" fan, I must clarify that that trivia is false. It is a widely spread urban myth. Check out Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/ozsuicide.asp

  8. That's fantastic - There's video at the link and you can see the Emu that was thought to be a person. Funny.
