I was born outside Istanbul in a small flea infested hovel along the Bosporus Strait. Over time I was able to organize these blood sucking creatures into a circus. My pet hamster Nigel and I often traveled to the surrounding villages performing amazing feats with these incredibly dangerous animals. Sadly, however, the lifespan of a flea is only a few weeks so when my family moved to Cairo it was all for the good. Once in Cairo I began my life as a pirate with my trusty Nigel by my side. We plied the waters of the Nile upon our fearsome dingy preying upon unsuspecting merchants. A cannonball ended this adventure and sent us into the Sahara Desert. We wandered for many days, weeks, even years. I do not know exactly because I didn't have a watch. It was in the Sahara that I came upon the mystic Abdullah Al Cadabra. He slowly shuffled up to me, looked deeply into my eyes and proclaimed, "Lunchtime!" So we ate lunch. After lunch we sat at a small table and he spread out the Tarot cards that would foretell my future. "I see pictures," he exclaimed. "And books! I see a Jersey. Not an old one but a New one!" And finally he whispered in my ear,"You will become almost famous!" So that's my story, believe it or not!
