FIRE EATERS BURNED BY DRUNK DRIVING ROADBLOCKS

FIRE EATERS BURNED BY DRUNK DRIVING ROADBLOCKS



SEATTLE (Wireless Flash) – A world famous fire eater is offering some advice to his fellow fire eaters: Brush your teeth before driving a car. Jim Rose, of the Jim Rose Circus, says several fire eaters are arrested each year for drunk driving because the alcohol in their gargling mixture makes cops think they’re bombed. Rose should know. He was recently detained in Belgium by cops who thought he had been boozing it up. Although the D.U.I. charges were dropped after he proved the alcohol was part of his stage act, Rose says the increase in police alcohol roadblocks is requiring fire eaters to clean up their act – literally. He says professional fire eaters should brush their teeth and tongues after every show to get rid of the boozy smell and also wash up with industrial strength soap.
