no lol, the creepy carnie clowns are on the outside...
well, at least one will be out of a job in a couple days

...as opposed to carnie crooks, circus performers often really rock

wherever i sit down my ars
One of my early jobs was Valley Millworks in Phoenix. The large millwork company was next to the railroad tracks. Every year the Ringling Brothers circus would come by train and park it near our company. I thought it was cool watching the circus employees in their day to day activities. Damn was that a long time ago.

I remember going to the circus in Bolton as a kid with my mum and brother. My mum bought me and my brother two raffle tickets. The raffle was to take place during the circus and there would be a nice price for whichever child wins. As we were sitting there watching the circus, I started to think that I'm not going to win with this raffle ticket. I just had a bad feeling about it. So my mum told me and my brother to swap raffle tickets if we wanted. So we did that, and I thought that would give me a better chance to win the raffle (although the odds were low, because there must have been hundreds of kids taking part in it).

My brother won.

PC destroys another institution. Christian church is on the list, too, since the PC have been pretty successful about destroying the traditional family.
