The Lighter Side of Human Nature - Feeling Great with Great Men in the Museum

                                      The Lighter Side of Human Nature 

Feeling Great with Great Men in the Museum 
(Madame Tussauds Singapore)

"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." - Mark Twain
 
Dr Abe V Rotor

Author receives a flying kick from Bruce Lee 

Make-believe kick bears imagined pain,
    that lasts in the mind, or will never end,
from the world's greatest martial artist 
    on screen, on the ring, and a friend. 
  
Author and His Holiness Mahatma Gandhi

A friendly tap on his shoulder, this man single handedly
fought an empire and won for India her independence;
messiah, guru, mahatma which means "Great Soul,"
"Man of the Millennium" - titles all of greatest essence.

Author with Tiger Woods - too close for comfort 

Greatest golfer at one time coming back 
for another yellow jersey, 
he may not get it, but his name in history
    remains an indelible memory.

Author mimics Barrack Obama with folded arms

Folded arms may mean confidence, self esteem, 
     independence and righteousness; 
but smile, body language and grooming may  
     simply mean friendliness and presence.

With Mohammed Ali, greatest heavyweight boxer of all time 

                   Look what I got just passing by a great boxer 
 dreaming "I'm the greatest!"
a knockdown for sure if indeed it was real.
lucky I survived the test.   

                                           With South Africa's greatest hero, Nelson Mandela

Compared with this great man,
I'm Gulliver in Brobdingnag;
Humility and greatness as one -
borders that of a living god. ~
