I knew I was in the right profession. I loved all those dancers on the show. Loved to make them laugh. Imagine having 300 to play to in the olden days. In the 80's we had 20 showgirls on the show. Never did I think that I would eventually marry one. Michelle and I have been together for over 20 years now. Her mothers famous words when she joined the show in 86' were, "What ever you do, don't marry a clown." Us clowns have it made. We always get the pretty girls.

I know some clowns who tested gags on the show girls, till the restraining orders took effect.
