"The person who has a tremendous reserve of patience and tolerance has a certain degree of tranquility and calmness in his or her life. Such a person is not only happy and more emotionally grounded, but also seems to be physically healthier and to experience less illness. This person possesses a strong will, has a good appetite, and can sleep with a clear conscience."










CLOWN ALLEY: Dentist Gag, Circus Vargas (1980s)



Italo Fornasari may be driving the gag here but keep an eye on whiteface Scott Parker, his moves are extremely neat and clean and really help to keep the fire going in the furnace of all this mishagoss.
