Minding his own business, Larry, the third least famous brother of "The Three Stooges
", is riding his bike through the park. Shemp is the fourth least famous. He replaces Curly in some cinematic situations. Being Larry, his transportation of choice had to be a Penny-farthing. A high-wheeler. Black with red saddle. Cruising along, Larry admires the children as they laugh at his strange two-wheeled contraption. How a comedy actor from the 1930's came to be in a park outside of the 20th century, wink and a nod.On this day, luck would find Larry and deliver to him winnings from the State Lottery
. In the side pocket of his tattered black wool dress coat, was the one inch thick stack of cash. No worries for a balding white guy in this neighborhood. Never mind the curiosity of how he traveled 70 or so years into the future. Happy as a J-Bird, Larry's melancholy approach to the day was interrupted by 3 nogooders on over-accessorized Sports Authority mountain bikes.Sensing danger, Larry cautiously altered his route taking him deeper into a heavily wooded area. Navigating a Penny-farthing across uneven terrain was a talent not yet explored by man...any man. The exposed tree roots created havoc and would certainly invite the services of a first responder
skilled in the use of Preparation-H. While ducking and weaving the low hanging canopy of pine needles and pine cones, Larry was able to reposition his one inch stack of cash from his coat pocket to the rear pocket of his trousers. Master magician Harry Houdini could not have done worse.As the trio of racially profiled individuals begin to encircle our intrepid misfit, Larry dismounts the Penny-farthing and initiates a trademark Hollywood style
stand-off. Without hesitation and with the awestruck awesomeness of Zeus striking down...anyone, Larry beats the shit out of the first interloper with a U-Lock which was stitched into the lining of his dress coat.
