[What A Waster]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._B._Fry

C.B. Fry.
England cricket captain, England football international, played in the cup final with Southampton. Long jump record holder. Teacher. Politician. Author.




"Fry's party trick was to leap from a stationary position on the floor backwards onto a mantelpiece; he would face the mantelpiece, crouch down, take a leap upwards, turn in the air, and bow to the gallery with his feet planted on the shelf. Persuasion would occasionally get him to perform this turn at country houses, much to the interest of the guests."
