Ch 10 - TEST WEEK!!!

You asked for it and here it is:

I was called up on stage at the Cirque du Soleil "Mystere" show in Las Vegas at the beginning of the year. They called me up on stage, made me dance in front of everyone and then locked me in a box so the clown could go on a picnic with my wife! Here's the proof!!!


*You can check out their shows here:
