This is Not a Subterfuge
FOUND by Eric Dienstfrey
in St. Louis, Missouri
I found this note under a bed in Barnes Jewish Hospital on the women and children's floor. I was visiting my cousin who had his tonsils taken out. His younger brother starting crawling around the floor and playing with the random pieces of trash behind the trash can, like this.

Creeeeepy...
I think this is more lovely than creepy.
It's creeeepy!
i don't think it's creepy at all. I think its beautiful.
maybe he's a photographer..it isn't creepy.
I just love the vocabulary. This is not a subterfuge- not just this is not a scam. I wonder where and how he interupted her?
So it was on the women's and childrens floor? So this guy is casing the women and children's floor for people to take pictures of? Ew. At best, he's a creep, at worst, a pedophile.
aw, i was born at this hospital (when it was just jewish hospital, before the merger.) .. cute.
um i agree with jenny -- at best a creep, at worst a pedophile.
go away, bill. go away.
when I was living in NYC I used to go to the bowery poetry club pretty frequently. there was/probably still is this sort of creepy guy who is always sitting in the same arm chair, who frequently asks girls to pose naked for his photo album. he is a ridiculously sketchy looking guy but he's got tons of photos in his book!
I wonder if this person knew that their note was going to come off so creepy, I don't think they meant for it to sound that way.
Belive me ALL photographers are a bit creepy!
I think it would be sweet if it were found somewhere like... oh, outside or something. But the floor of a children's hospital?? I don't care who you are or who dropped it, I have to vote on creepy....
This "Bill" must be the same one who left the note to Sylvia the prostitute on someone's windsheild when they were parked behind a church. "Bill" appears to make a habit of offering random women money for their services. I agree, totally creepy.
It's not like he asked her to take her close off...
Mr. Womble,
that note (http://foundmagazine.com/find/245) seems to have been signed "Marion".
What kind of photographer goes to the women's and children's floor looking for pretty women unless he is referencing a nurse. Even then though, this is bothersome mainly because my niece was in that hospital at one point.
The fact that he wrote it on a napkin makes me wonder if he saw her in the cafeteria when he was visiting a sick loved one? Because although it was found on the floor, that does not mean that it was given on that floor.
In that same manner, it could have been given earlier that day, prior to the visit to the hospital and she could have dropped it out of her bag. Oh dear, now my curious nature has the best of me.
This is totally creepy! if this guy is a photographer wouldn't he put that in the letter...? did a second note follow with his phone number? hmmm...
I think it was tossed in the trash by someone who was cleaning out her purse while visiting a loved one in the hospital. Hopefully she never contacted him...I shudder to think of some naive girl going to some creep's apt. to get her "picture taken". I was approached by a guy with a line like this at the age of 19. He was about 50. Very pervy.
