Last Friday, Rotary Club of Flint President Nick Godlesky really nailed his role...literally. He demonstrated the classic sideshow stunt known as the Human Blockhead, driving a 4-inch nail into his nose to the amazement (and slight discomfort) of everyone in the room. Thankfully, if things had gone sideways, we were in excellent hands with fellow Rotarian Dr. Bobby Mukkamala in the room – board-certified otolaryngologist and President of the American Medical Association. Fortunately, no Rotarians were harmed in the making of this video and Nick lived to preside over another meeting. Service Above Self? Absolutely. Nail Above Nostril? Just this once.
