Copy Cat Stunt in Local Talent Show  "Not Well Received"

William "Bill" Tuttle

"The Accordionator" - Lyle Salmczek

Orchard Park, NY - On stage and in front of dozens of well wishers and talent show fun seekers, two union brothers performed a brief open mouth kiss to launch their act.   In an obvious attempt to gain an edge on brotherhood talent competition, Bill Tuttle and Lyle Salmczek borrowed from the recent MTV Awards and leaned over their matching accordions to engage in the hasty but unholy lip lock. 

Local 1431 of the International Brotherhood of Stencil and Protractor Manufacturers may never quite be the same after Friday night's annual watermelon bust and talent show gala surprise.  Mrs. Vivian Schmidt of Orchard Park was certainly not amused.  "We paid $7...EACH for this filth!  I brought my son Barry who's nine and suddenly it turns into a porn show?  It was like watching HBO Late Night, or something.

"I told Lyle we probably shouldn't do it", lamented Bill Tuttle of the temporary talent show act, Wild Bill and the Accordionator.  "It was probably the beer doing most of the talking though. Lyle said he thought it would be a nice treat for the wives in the audience.  I guess it didn't really work out that way though."  The boys also report a "different attitude" among co-workers at the plant.  "I guess they don't really get what it means to be entertainers," said Salmczek,
