Wallendas Family

[geronimo]

The Wallenda family has been in the circus/etertainmet business for a long long time.
The volcano walk was the latest stunt, but there was a time many many years ago that they
called themselves the flying Wallendas.
They had an act then where they shot some of the family members out of a cannon, and the projected Wallenda
would fly across the tent to a net where they would land. It was one of many routines they used.
Well, as fate would have it, the developer of that stunt grew old and died.
One of the younger ones became despondent and after a while committed suicide.  It was terrible tragedy.
Awful in fact. The young man shot himself in the head with his uncle.

You likely will never hear that story from another source.

heh heh. Reckon I ought to clear up that "JOKE".

Obviously it was a lot funnier to me than it was to you. 
The idea was that the young man shot himself in the head "NOT WITH A BULLIT FROM A GUN".
But, WITH HIS UNCLE FROM A CANNON>

That is an old joke by the way. Still makes me laugh.
Blessings.
