Re: Leaky’s “injury.” I have an unsubstantiated report that he is actually a hero in the incident. Backstory: I’m sure that everyone remembers The Flying Wallendas and the several tragedies that have befallen them over the years. Also everyone is aware of the great circus troupe, Cirque de Soleil.
But perhaps not everyone is aware of another, more exotic troupe, Cirque de Cialis. I understand that Leaky is their principal aerialist and that his premier act involves certain, er, “specialty acts” performed with two Russian girls, Olga and Katrina, while on the high wire. Evidently he was so proficient in his performance that Olga lost her balance and began to fall. (It is important to note that like the Wallendas, Leaky’s group also performs without protection.) When Leaky saw Olga begin to fall and without any regard for his own safety, he reached out to her and saved her. Unfortunately he slipped and fell to the ground, shattering his shoulder.
He has been nominated for the Johnson Medal with crossed legs for this feat of skill and bravery.
Leaky, can you confirm that this is true? And will there be a formal presentation?
