Larry,
Did you know WC was a very accomplished juggler? You can see a video of him doing some of his early stuff on U Tube. I understand there is a vid of him doing a juggling act using a pool cue and cue ball where he continually bounces the cue ball off the end of the stick. Pretty good trick. I'd like to see anyone else pull that off.
BTW: A little tid bit some of you may not know about W.C. Fields; First though he always suggested he hated kids (when asked how he like children he would say, "boiled") he left most of his fortune to Orphanages. But most funny was when he was dying in the hospital some friends came visiting him and found him reading the Bible. They asked him what he was doing and his reply was, "Looking for loopholes"
Gotta love it!
Tom
