This is the hardest I have ever laughed in my life. I kept rewinding it where he was beginning his dance, scratching the air with his claws. I sat my friends down, and I kept replaying that part over and over. The more times we watched it the harder we laughed. At one point I laughed so hard I fell off the chair, unable to get my breath. My wife Ronda had to call 911 for help. I had gone into convulsions due to the lack of oxygen, blew a hole in my underwear and pants from an explosive bowl moment, that shot out of my ass and broke two new lamps logging in the living room wall. The bill was 19-hundred dollars for the ambulance ride to the hospital. I was released after four hours. I will never get rid of this video. I want to meet this clown someday and thank him for the best laugh ever. And give him the bill for the lamps and wall repair.
