[Extra]Ordinary People

I obtained my interview with the man with sideshow name Jorilla because someone had told him when I lost my eye at age six, I’d said “It’s only one more thing which will make me that much more unique!” He wanted to meet me! He displayed wit, humor which he was forced to conceal because it conflicted with his “missing link” public persona. He requested the interview be off the record. When I told him the point of my interview was to use it to empower those who’re persecuted for being “different,” he presented me with this original sideshow photo! I asked him if I might use one of his quotes in relation to the photo. He agreed. Quote: “Jim, life tried to make a monkey out of me; but with my fame and financial success, I made a monkey out of it!”
