Cannon Fodder!
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 produce 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 paediatric 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.”
