Adoption protocol

A husband and wife who work for the circus go to an adoption
agency. The social workers there, raise doubts about the living
conditions in a circus, but the couple produce photos of their
50-foot luxury motor home, which is clean and well-maintained
and equipped with a beautiful nursery.

The social workers also raise concerns about the education a
child would receive while in the couple's care. "We've arranged
for a full-time tutor who will teach the child all the usual subjects
along with French, Mandarin and computer skills."

Then the social workers express concern about a child being
raised in a circus environment. "Our nanny is a certified expert
in pediatric care, welfare and diet."

The social workers are finally satisfied and ask, "What age
child are you hoping to adopt?"

"It doesn't really matter as long as the kid fits in the cannon."
