Next at the Hemophiliac Circus appears a bear who is trained to juggle bananas. But my personal assistant Tertz is a monkey, so he keeps eyeing the fruit that is being juggled. You can probably guess what happens next: Tertz leaps up with his fangs unsheathed and bites the bear right in the face. Somehow, amid the confusion, both of the bear’s eyeballs get consumed, leaving the beast with empty sockets like Saint Oedipus: now he cannot stop weeping tears of blood. The audience stands and stares in silent shock, while Tertz begins to unwrap a fallen banana. I grab his little monkey arm and try to pull him away, but he slinks out of my grip and hisses at me.
