I was travelling back from a Pinocchio convention at the Nevada Pinocchio Hall Of Fame last year and my Pinocchio costume was inmy suitcase in the trunk of my green Chevy. I suddenly heard a knocking sound an realised the engine had packed up – at night, in the middle of the desert – with no-one in sight.Soon I started getting a bit chilly and started piling on the clothes.

I lit it with a lighter and got my fire going. Within an hour a planepassed overhead an rescued me. All because of my polyester Pinocchio costume – not a word of a lie.
