Sheriff Gary Hamblin Pursues Lifelong Dream
Dane County Sheriff Gary Hamblin announced today that he will not run for reelection in 2007. Instead, he will pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a circus performer. Hamblin was offered a job with Barnum and Bailey Circus to start immediately upon the end of his current term as county sheriff.
Hamblin will travel with the circus beginning in early 2008 as part of the sideshow. He says that until then, he will focus on growing out his standard mustache into a full handlebar mustache to complete his travelling circus image. Hamblin's act will include singing along with an organ grinding monkey.
Hamblin will also serve as understudy to the circus's human cannonball. "This is the most exciting part of the job," says Hamblin. "After all these years of carrying a gun, I may actually have the opportunity to be fired out of one. I've always wondered what the bullet must feel like. Now I may get to find out."
