As the bodiless horse head who can prognosticate like a modern day oracle, Wilboit has attracted nothing but disbelief. Says one who attempted to speak with Wilboit and his compadre Jaffe, "neither of them would say a word, let alone tell me my future. It's just some mute freak with suction cups pushing around a horse head in an 'ol wheelbarrow. " Yet, Lars Blackshoe, who allegedly possesses a secret compendium of Wilboit's predictions for the future, claims that "Wilboit isn't so much a fortune-teller as he is a horse with a gift for inestimable advice. He told me I should create a Circus of Wonders, more fabulous than any circus ever staged" "However," warns Blackshoe," you will get nothing by looking a gift horse in the mouth." When asked to elaborate, he explained, simply, "not to look at his mouth. Listen and you shall hear. And that's straight from the horse's mouth," adds Blackshoe with a laugh. Lars Blackshoe has been criticized as a madman for believing that a horse head can give good counsel, but Blackshoe finds inspiration in Wilboit. "He's undaunted," adds Blackshoe, "despite the harvesting accident which allegedly severed Wilboit's head from his body. And all of the nay-sayers who don't believe in him are in for a big surprise when my Circus opens its doors." Amidst claims that Jaffe will be wheeling Wilboit to the Circus of Wonders to impart wisdom to the world, we may learn the truth about Wilboit sooner than we expect. |
