Once You Step in Elephant Manure, You're in the Circus Forever

$24.95

He has been called “The Great Imposter,’’ a man who has been introduced to audiences across the country as Dr. Robert Payne, a bumbling bureaucrat from Washington, D.C. But his real name is Durwood Fincher, and the late Allen Funt, of Candid Camera, once dubbed him “Mr. Doubletalk.’’ After he hits his audiences with a one-two punch of sense and nonsense, syllables and silliness, they realize why he is such a special entertainer. He has been a mainstay on the corporate speaking circuit for more than 25 years, and there’s no other comic personality in America with his blend of humor, inspiration, philanthropy, spirituality and patriotism. He has appeared on dozens of television shows, including NBC’s “The Today Show” and “Live With Regis and Kelly.’’ Posing as a sportscaster, he once doubletalked the entire roster of the Atlanta Braves. After delivering a flurry of frenetic phonetics in the direction of TV game show personality Vanna White, she begged him: “Can I buy a vowel?’’ His wild and wonderful collection of stories have been captured and tamed by award-winning newspaper columnist Ed Grisamore in Once You Step in Elephant Manure, You’re in the Circus Forever: The Life and Sometimes of Durwood “Mr. Doubletalk” Fincher. Included with the book is an original 35-minute DVD with hilarious highlights of Fincher's colorful career in doubletalk and a touching photographic tribute to Payne City featuring Pieces of Our Past, by Allen Levi.
