Maybe his neck became the target.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
She found out he was seeing the Bearded Lady.
Missed it by that much.
William Tell hesitated.
Tough way to make a buck.
More range time needed. Bet they’ll be a little nervous next time they put on this act.
Same thing I thought.
Perhaps he was making it with the bearded lady?😗
“...Cuervo Rangel and Daza Tavera are married...”
Maybe.
Hah you beat me to it.😁
LOL
Is the circus going to pay for his medical bills, or is he going to get the shaft?
Hey, don't try it 'till you've nocked it.
“There was no blood, nothing,”
Yet he was airlifted to a hospital?
Talk about IRONIC!
Was Ana having a bit too much Jose Cuervo?
