Odd the Dwarf

I heard this story on the radio last week:

In a circus show, somewhere around the world, a trampoline-ist dwarf by the name of 'Odd' recieved wild response from his audience after being swallowed whole by a hippopautomus. He usually jumped over the hippo's mouth for a daring stunt, but the sleepy giant was in mid-yawn when her gag reflexes kicked in and down the dwarf went.

well that's unfortunate
