What A Circus! May 28, 2016
Posted by nrhatch in Humor, Joke.trackback
A husband and wife who work at a circus, go to an adoption agency.
Social workers there raise doubts about their suitability to bring up the boy that they want.
The couple produce photos of their 50 foot motor home, which is equipped with a beautiful nursery.
The social workers then are doubtful about the education that the child would get.
“We’ve arranged for a full-time tutor who will teach the child all the usual , along with French, Mandarin and computer skills.”
Then there are doubts about raising a child in a circus environment.
“Our nanny is an expert in pediatric welfare and diet.”
Satisfied at last, the social workers ask, “What age child are you hoping to adopt?”
“It doesn’t really matter, as long as he fits into the cannon”
Aah . . . that’s better!

I hope whatever child they got, he possessed just the right caliber for the job.
Haha . . .
Once they mentioned the cannon, one of the social workers went ballistic. “You’ll get a child over my dead body.”
The prospective parents shrugged, “Oh, well, it was worth a shot in the dark.”
LOL! LOL!
As a kid, did you ever threaten to run away with the circus? I thought the circus would be great ~> a steady diet of cotton candy, snow cones, and candy apples.
No, I never threatened to run away with the circus. Clowns kinda freak me out… 😀 But state fair food makes me a happy person… 😀
Ha ha ha! 🙂
I’m guessing they will NOT be adopting a child from that agency.
True that!
Serves them right . . . for clowning around. : D
Thanks for the laugh and the support!
You’re in for a tough few weeks, but it will get better. In time.
Yep, I know. Now I am off to dream land. Nite nite.
Sleep restoreth.
Love it!
This punch line provides a resounding *BANG*
Great punch line Nancy! Hope your weekend is going well 💛
So far, so good. We went for a 3 mile walk on the beach before the crowds (and clouds) rolled in. Now we’re just chilling!
Have a good one.
Sounds like a lovely way to begin a Holiday weekend!
Here’s hoping it’s a star-spangled weekend.
Haaaa! I love it, and the continuing puns in the comments. I tried to think of one, but I think you’ve covered them all 😀
Well, you gave it a shot!
Did not see that one coming 😀
A bit of circus magic!
The comments are almost as good as the post, Nancy. I guess the parents didn’t get their cannon fodder. 😕 Clowns also freak me out. It’s called coulrophobia.
Haha! Yes, no fodder for them! Clowns can be quite freaky . . . but I have never heard the word coulrophobia.
This is awesome. Knowing the common sense workings of government, they probably got the child.

The kid might LOVE life in the circus . . . especially being a human cannonball.
Stop! The post is hilarious but these comments are killing me! Still laughing.
Glad you got a kick out of these punny comments.
Didn’t see that coming! 🙂 Hilarious!
Glad you enjoyed. Hope you’re having a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.
God bless those willing to take on the children who need them. I know this is meant as humor but really, it’s such a big issue here. Happy weekend.
Thanks, Tammy. Older kids aren’t as readily adopted as babies and tiny tots. It’s great when they find a “forever home.”
Touching story. I hope the circus couple, Mr. and Mrs O’Shay, will be very happy with their new son, Rick.
They can bill him as Rick the Trick Brick!
LOL! That was great!!
Glad you enjoyed. Hope you’re having a nice L~O~N~G Memorial Day weekend.
Years ago a niece in the family literally ran away from home and joined the circus. She met her husband there and they’ve been married 30 years. I guess it’s quite a way of life for some people. I don’t think they shot any of their children out of a cannon. 🙂
That’s interesting. The idea of being with a traveling show seems appealing to the gypsy in me. Glad your niece didn’t launch her children “through the air with the greatest of ease.”
The punch line is one of the best – ever! Thanks for the surprise smile, Nancy 😀
Glad you enjoyed it! I get such a kick out of the e-mails Joe sends.
