A husband and wife who work for the circus go to an adoption agency looking to adopt a child,
but the social workers there raise doubts about their suitability.
So the couple produces photos of their 50-foot motor home, which is clean and well maintained
and equipped with a beautiful nursery.
The social workers are satisfied by this but then raise concerns about the kind of education a child
would receive while in the couple’s care.
The husband puts their mind at ease, saying, “We’ve arranged for a full-time tutor
who will teach the child all the usual
subjects along with French, Mandarin, and computer skills.”
Next though, the social workers express concern about a child being raised
in a circus environment.
This time the wife explains, “Our nanny is a certified expert in pediatric care, welfare, and diet.”
The social workers are finally satisfied and ask the couple,
“What age child are you hoping to adopt?”
The husband says, “It doesn’t really matter,
as long as the kid fits in the cannon.”
