Q: What do you call the man who sings for snake?

A: We call him Gus, but his real name is Murry. I'm not sure how he got the name Gus. I guess someone said it and it just caught on.

He only sings for Snake on Wednesday and Fridays. Those are the nights Snake bowls in the co-ed league over at Ken's. Snake's a real good singer, but bowling is his passion.

Music is Gus's passion, but he's not much of a singer. Still, we let him go up there twice a week to mumble and growl and live out his dream.

The crowd doesn't much care for it. They say the most awful things.

Gus doesn't mind. He just smiles and keeps making those awful noises. I guess it's because he can't hear them, on account of being deaf-mute.
