The story that accompanied this AP photo...
Victim of one of his own tricks, circus clown Charlie Cheer has a built-in expression of woe to go with the hand injury he suffered at the Shrine Circus in Indianapolis last night. He suffered a broken finger and burns when a blank cartridge in a trick mechanism on his accordion exploded accidentally. Nurse Judy Vandeiver gives first aid.
Only in the circus could you say, "Well, a blank cartridge in the trick mechanism on my exploding accordion went off accidentally ..." . Although the look on the police officers face seems to indicate that he suspects something entirely different may have occurred. Thanks for the laugh of the day, Pat.
