Henry Higgenbottom had an amazing talent. Welllll, maybe not so amazing as, lets say, \u2018quirky\u2019.\u00a0 You see, Henry could \u201cheadstand\u201d.\u00a0 Yeah,\u00a0 not so amazing\u2026but since nobody else could ever do it quite like him, it kinda became his \u2018thing\u2019.\u00a0 And despite all practical advice. he \u2018did\u2019 the crap out of his \u2018thing\u2019.\u00a0 He became a minor local celebrity (oddity), got his fifteen minutes of fame on the T.V. news and bartered that into a stint on the state carnival circuit which propelled him into a pretty good gig with a circus sideshow troupe as a \u2018Tumbling Contortionist\u2019.\u00a0 All things considered, however, his convulsive hiccuping act usually stole the spotlight (and all the laughs) and made his \u2018headstand\u2019 gimmick look pretty dull.\u00a0 But Henry never gave up on it.\u00a0 It was his own unique gift to the world, a sacred piece of his very soul and he made sure it was part of every show he did\u2026..until one day he accidentally mixed his hiccups with his \u2018headstand\u2019 and SO disrupted his specially balanced stance that he snapped his own ridiculous neck.<\/p>\n

***Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who\u00a0has seen\u00a0the image above seems to think it has some political meaning \u2013\u00a0perhaps implying the state of the nation or of the American voting public\u2026 Bollocks and drivel!\u00a0 It is no such thing.\u00a0 Read the post!\u00a0 Its nothing more than a tragic fragment of an ambitious loser.\u00a0 We don\u2019t do politics in this blog!<\/em><\/p>\n
