Macgyver Returns!

Trapped for nearly a quarter century, Macgyver today finally escaped from the last tough spot he was put in. After being teleported to the Earth’s core and left with nothing but a banjo and a tuning fork, he managed to contrive them into an escalator to the surface.

When asked why it took him so long, Macgyver stated “I blame the banjo - its the most useless thing to be caught in a fix with.”

For years, viewers wondered what happened to Macgyver. They never guessed he was underneath them clawing his way back up. He is now a lot older but still just as handy.

When asked what he ate while down there, he claimed he had existed solely on worms that he lured to himself with the vibrations of the tuning fork. 

Dubbed the Human Swiss Army Knife for his exploits, Macgyver was a huge threat to villains unwise enough not to shoot him on sight. Locking him up or putting him in a death-defying situation before leaving for a coffee never seemed to work. 

His penchant for always making the best of a bad turn of events was unchanged as he even managed to find a silver lining to his recent ordeal. “It could have been worse, you know,” he said, “I’m afraid of heights but depths I’m okay with.”

Twenty-five years underground, however, has not been kind to the hero. His hair has thinned and his once handsome, roguish features have sagged a bit. The eyes remain the same, though – always seeking an unthinkable way out of an impossible situation. 

When asked what his next adventure would be, he said “I’m too old for them now. Maybe I’ll start a school to train the escape artists of today. From what’s on TV, I’m pretty sure I could show David Copperfield a thing or two!”
