Man who jumped over Niagara Falls joins Texas circus

from the Detroit News bq. The only person to survive a plunge over Niagara Falls without a safety device has run off and joined the circus. bq. Kirk Jones, 40, planned to make his debut as the "world's greatest stunt man" during a Friday night gig with the Toby Tyler Circus, now touring Texas' Mexican border towns. Great comment: bq. In the meantime, circus promoter Phil Dolci said Jones will have to work like everyone else in the troupe, washing elephants and taking down tents. "Everyone has a second job here," Dulci said. "No free ride for Kirk." Posted by DaveH at November 16, 2003 7:55 PM
