Watch the most powerful men in the USA during the 1980s, and their wives, laugh hysterically at this super funny entertainer.

Notice how President Reagan, a Republican, was sitting next to Speaker of the House, Tip O'Neal, a Democrat, and his wife. They had staunch differences, but could put them aside and act like humans should. This could never happen today.

During a time when you could have differing opinions and views and still be civil. Currently, I doubt you could get the same "titles" in a room together, for the same reason, without "someone" making a spectacle of themself, in self interest.

Michael is the reason i became a juggler. I watched his act in London and as part of it he invited someone from the audience to come up on stage & juggle with him using a sliced load, a chicken & a pound of butter (unwrapped of course). I loved it so much that i taught myself how to juggle, bought front row seats for a later performance & was lucky to be chosen to come up on stage with him. I can honestly say that I've performed on stage in the west end with an artiste who has entertained the most powerful man in the world...

The Juggler answered,"I use them in my Act" And the officer said,"Yea right,"let`s see you do it" So the Juggler grabs his knives and stands behind his car and started tossing and catching the knives,and a guy driving by,slows down to watch and says,"Wow,.sure glad I quit drinking,look at the test`s they`re giving now!"
