If I was forced into being a trapeze artist because, let's say, it's the family business, then I think I'd rather be the "flipping & flying guy" than the "catching guy". First of all, from previous experience, I know I'm not good at hanging upside down from a swinging bar for very long periods of time just waiting to catch someone spinning and hurdling out of control towards me at great speeds... And even if I did attempt to catch him, all you'd hear each time would be me letting out a bloodcurdling scream because I know I'd yank both of my arms right out of their sockets... Oh sure, the costume is flashy, but who would possibly want to be some "catching guy" with dislocated shoulders?... Besides, the "flipping & flying guy" gets all the attention... and the babes!
