Alex sees an ad in the newspaper that says “Circus Looking for New Talents”.
Alex says to himself, “Eh, what the heck. I’m pretty talented.” and calls the circus.
A lady answers him. “Hello,” she says.
“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 really not what we’re looking for. I think maybe you should call the NB…”
“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!”
“…”
“…”
“Goodbye, sir.”
She hangs up the phone.
Alex sits there for a few seconds before he realizes he forgot something.
“Oh darn! I forgot to tell her I’m a horse!”
