Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley is giving up his trademark “thumbs up” gesture.

The well-known Rotarian is donating his thumbs to a Texas man who lost his in a tragic hitchhiking accident.

Dudley previously gave a kidney to an ailing stranger in Canada, saving his life. The experience was so rewarding, he said, he’s been offering body parts to people all over the nation.

“Do we like helping others?” he asked rhetorically. “Yes we do.”

He’s given hair plugs to widowers, skin graphs to fishermen and donated his tonsils to a kid in Sedro Woolley.

Then Dudley heard about a hitchhiker named John Ryder who is marooned in a small Texas town after getting hit by a moped. To save his life, roadside doctors were forced to amputate the man’s thumbs using fuzzy dice and rubber bands.

And now drivers won’t stop to pick up Ryder as he stands, sad and thumbless, on the side of the road.

Dudley said he is flying down to El Paso next week to undergo the double-thumb transplant. Ryder only asked for one thumb, but Dudley insisted on donating both.

“They’re a matching pair,” he said.

APRIL FOOLS!
