Dennis Lanahan, The high diver would tell people that if you put a 50 cent piece on the floor and look down at it, that's what the tank looked like from the top of that 80 foot steel ladder. The tank itself was 22 feet across in the water and it nevermore than nine feet deep. Then it said that from that high up, you want to come out of your dive toe. Enter the water feet first, your hands at the last moment, protecting your privates in your butt squeeze tight. Or it was like getting a 40,000 gallon enema when he told us to girls who hung out at amusement parks that put a cute look of pain on their faces and say What he did was awesome. But wasn't it really like dangerous? Dennis would tell him You could break your back if you didn't kill yourself, but the rush you got was worth it. These summertime girls love daredevils, even ones twice your age. It kept Dennis going off that perch 80 feet in the air and going out for beers afterwards to tell stories it. Once in a while he'd fallen in love for the summer were part of it. The past few years, Dennis have been putting on one man shows during the week, then for Saturday and Sunday. Bring in a couple of young divers when he could to join him in a repertoire of comedy dives they called Dili's. The three of them, acting nutty is they went off from different levels and hit the water at the same time in mitt dirt cheap motel rooms during the summer and sleeping in the set up truck between gigs, a way of life dentists the high diver had to accept. If he wanted to perform, would he? Couldn't take any more finally, were the amusement parks. The tiresome possesses the smells colored lights. Reid's going around and around that Kalala p sound forever. What he did is a plan of escape was called Resort Hotels in South Florida. Until whoever would listen, he was Dennis Lanahan, a professional exhibition diver had performed in major diving shows all over the world, including the cliffs of Aca Poco. What he proposed he dive into their swimming pool from the top of the hotel for his 80 foot ladder twice a day is a special attraction. They say Leave your number and never call back. They say here, right and hang up. One of them told him, the pools only five feet deep. Dennis it no problem. He knew a guy. New Orleans went off from 29 feet into 12 inches of water, A pool five feet deep. Dennis was sure they would work something out. No, they couldn't. He happened to see a brochure that advertised. Tunica, Mississippi is the casino capital of the South, with photos of the hotels located along the Mississippi River. One of them caught his eye. The Tishomingo Lodging Casino. Dennis recognized the managers named Billy Darwin and made the call. Mr. Doran, this is Dennis Linnehan, World Champion High diver. We met one time in Atlantic City, Billy Doorman said. We did. I remember. I thought it first. You were Robert Redford only you're a lot younger. You were running the sports Book of spades, Dennis waiting when there was no response, he said, How high is your hotel? This Billie Dawn was quick, he said. You want to dive off a roof into your swimming pool. Then it said twice a day is a special attraction. We go up seven floors. That sounds just right, but the pool's about 100 feet away. You'd have to take a good running start, not win you right there. Dennis knew he could work something out with this Billy Darling. I could set my tank right next to the hotel, die from the roof into nine feet of water, do a matinee performance and one at night with spite lights on May 7 days a week. How much you won't dinner spoke right up talking to a man who dealt with High Rose 500 a day. How long a ride? Well, the rest of the season say eight weeks. You're worth 28 grand that quick off the top of his head. I have set up expenses. Higher rigor. Put in a system to filter the water in the tank. It stands more in a few days. It gets gotta scunny. You don't perform all year. If I can work six months, I'm doing good. Then what? I've been a ski instructor. Bartender Billy Darwin's quiet voice asked him, Where are you? In a room at the Fiesta Motel, Panama City, Florida Dennis told him, performing every evening to the Miracle Strip amusement park. My contract will keep me here to be in the month. Then it said. But that's it. I've reached a point. Actually, I don't think I can do another amusement park. All summer. There was a silence on the line. Billy Darwin may be wondering why, but not curious enough to ask Mr Darman. He said, Can you get away for you? Finish up there if I can get back the same night before Showtime something the man would like to hear. He said A flying in Memphis, take 61 due south in about 30 minutes. You're gonna be in Tunica, Mississippi. Dennis. It is a nice town, but got no answer. The man it hung up.
