Having a bad day? Take heart, at least you (most likely) don’t have the same problem that “Captain Dan the Demonic Dwarf", (Daniel Blackner) faced recently.
Feeling rushed before a performance at the Circus of Horrors in Edinburgh, a festival not surprisingly known for strange and odd performances, the British performer was preparing for the highpoint of his act when he had an equipment malfunction.
Yes, friends and neighbors the highpoint is when Dan appears on stage with a vacuum attached to his member by a special device. Minutes before this act of daring do, the attachment broke. Not wanting to disappoint the fans, Blackner found some strong glue. The glue plainly stated that it required 20 minutes to set, Dan gave it 20 seconds. The lack of 19 minutes and 40 seconds made all of the difference. Soon Dan the D. found himself with his – naughty bits firmly glued to the attachment onstage. Demonic or not, Dan stated “I just wished the ground could swallow me up” He and his Hoover were rushed to the hospital. “Luckily they saw me quickly so the embarrassment was short-lived.”
He’s fortunate. At our local hospital, I’m certain he and his Hoover would have spent at least four hours in the waiting room, dodging sneezes, coughs and surreptitious looks from the others in waiting. Chalk up one more point for socialized medicine.

Excuse the ancient Disney reference; for the Hanna-Barbera generation I guess you could say this little person wasn't exactly a brainy Smurf ... although it's rumored that Smurfette goes for the dumb ones.
