$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / A circus foreman was making the rounds \ | inspecting the big top when a scrawny | | little man entered the tent and walked | | up to him. "Are you the foreman around | | here?" he asked timidly. "I'd like to | | join your circus; I have what I think | | is a pretty good act." | | | | The foreman nodded assent, whereupon | | the little man hurried over to the main | | pole and rapidly climbed up to the very | | tip-top of the big top. Drawing a deep | | breath, he hurled himself off into the | | air and began flapping his arms | | furiously. Amazingly, rather than | | plummeting to his death the little man | | began to fly all around the poles, | | lines, trapezes and other obstacles, | | performing astounding feats of | | aerobatics which ended in a long power | | dive from the top of the tent, pulling | | up into a gentle feet-first landing | | beside the foreman, who had been | | nonchalantly watching the whole time. | | | | "Well," puffed the little man. "What do | | you think?" | | | | "That's all you do?" answered the | \ foreman scornfully. "Bird imitations?" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
