Artie Finn, a man known for many years to the local community as a "stoner and reject from society," dropped out of school many years ago due to their lack of ability to work with dyslexic students. This reading disability, along with his lifestyle, smell, and appearance, has also kept him from keeping jobs.
Lately, however, a change has come over Artie. Residents of Springville have noticed a total change in attitude, as well as odor, in "our local pothead."
Artie explains it this way: "I went downtown to try and score some acid. I wanted to do something special because it was my birthday, you know."
"Anyway, I walked up to this guy and asked him if he had some LDS. I found out later that what I really wanted way LSD."
"Anyway, he sent me to this church, and now I'm a Mormon (a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, sometimes called the LDS church)."
"What I really wanted was to score some Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), but I guess the mistake ended up being a good one."
Finn now wears a white shirt and tie, avoids drugs and liquor, rides a bike, gave up tobacco products and coffee, and has Osmond-like white teeth.
