What a cute [and charming] looking act!

Nice to see that grey hairs can still get a feed!

from Jim Stockley:

Speaking of grey hair ....Anyone know if this "Karl Trunk" is the son of Wolfgang Trunk and Regina Strassburger-Trunk of Circus Strassburger in Holland or Harry Belli? They were tiger and elephant trainers weren't they?

Weren't Karl & Wolfgang Trunk the people who took over the elephant dept.when Danny Renz got killed by the elephant 'Monica' on Sabine Rancy in France? or am I all mixed up? Can someone help straighten me out?

I may be wrong but I'm thinking those grey hairs were honourably acquired in the line of duty ?

Jim,
I can verify grey hair being cause by that type of situation. I also developed a twitch and hand tremors.

Wade, those things you mention are not noticeable, and do not diminish your attractiveness in the least.

Mary Ann,
Thank you. Most folks only have a problem with the bolting at loud screams, only to realize that no body is getting killed, but rather someone just scored a touchdown or hit a home run. It stays with you a lifetime.
