Happy Birthday wishes go out to one of my favorite comics, Gallagher, who turned 63 years old today. Leo Anthony Gallagher was born at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He graduated from the University of Florida with a chemical engineering degree in 1969. He is famous in the marine biology field for inventing the prototype shark proof cage.

In the comedy realm, Gallagher is famous for his "sledge-O-Matic", a large wooden mallet that he destroys various items on the stage, including watermellons. It sprays watermellon all over the audience in the front rows. Karen and I saw him in Las Vegas and knew not to get seats in the front.
