A lady answers the phone. “Hello,” she says in a friendly tone.

“Hi, is this the circus?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve heard you’re hiring.”

“You’ve heard correctly, sir. What is your name?”

“Alex.”

“Alright then, Alex, what makes you think you can join the circus?”

“Well, I have several talents... for example, I can shoot a three-pointer in basketball, like five times in a row.”

“O... Okay... That’s quite impressive, sir, but it’s not really what we’re looking for. I think maybe you should call the NBA...”

“No, no, wait! I... I can hula hoop for like 30 seconds straight!”

“Sir, I really don’t think you understand what the concept of a cir...”

“No, please, I... I... I can jump on one leg while saying the alphabet backward!”

“...”

“...”

“I'm very sorry. Goodbye, sir.”

She hangs up the phone.

Alex sits there for like five seconds until he realizes he forgot something.

“Oh cruds! I forgot to tell her I’m a horse!”
