Many years ago when I was 17, I was performing my dove act with a beauty queen, a new assistant. As each dove was produced , the assistant was to come onto the stage and retrieve it; however, she was distracted by one of the stagehands and never came out on cue.
Realizing she had missed her cue, I set the dove onto my shoulder. After I turned to reach for another prop, the audience began to laugh hysterically. I thought I must have left my fly open , but after checking , that was not the problem. After my act concluded , I discovered Dora the Dove had ***** down the back of my black tuxedo. I was horrified to the point of getting a new assistant for the next performance. She might not have been as beautiful , but she did make her entrance on cue. |

That is why Johnny Thompson trained his doves to do that, it is funny.

I like Kohl and Company's dove act as well. Although I don't think wiping bird stuff on a pretty girls back would go over well.
Maybe that's why I don't have any doves..I am sorry to hear that happened to you. Bob. |

Nuncinud is right, Johnny Thompson has made a career and become a living ledgend with that "bird shirt"

I know the bird does not do it, I've known Johnny a long time, but initially a bird did it to him, it got a big laugh and was left in once he figured out a method.

Good thing you weren't producing elephants.
