A husband and wife who work for a circus went to an agency to adopt a child, but social workers raised doubts about their suitability:
So the couple produced photos of their motor home, which was clean and well maintained and equipped with a beautiful nursery.
The social workers were satisfied, but then raised concerns about the kind of education a child would receive while in the couple's care.
The husband put their mind at ease, saying "We have arranged for a full-time tutor who will teach the child all the usual subjects along with French, Mandarin, and computer skills."
Next the social workers expressed concerns about a child being raised in a circus environment.
The wife explained "Our nanny is a qualified expert in pediatric care, welfare and diet."
The social workers were finally satisfied and asked "What age child are you hoping to adopt?"
The husband said "It doesn't really matter, as long as the kid fits in the cannon."
