8. I'd love to have a job with a circus like Ringling.
The question would be...do I go to HSUS or PETA with my findings? Tough call.

21. Okay, but you should know
those circus peanuts do not friggin' decompose, man. Oh wait--I don't think they have anything to do with circuses. Or peanuts, for that matter. :P

22. If you get the heap hot enough, it should kill any sprouts.
And if you push something hard enough, it will fall over. (Fudd's Law) :P

13. Bearded lady?
I went to the "fair" when I was about five and my dad took me and my older brother into a booth/tent that boasted that a woman would turn into an ape/wild woman. I'll never forget how scared my dad was as the "ape woman" broke out of the cage and he scooped us up and got us the hell out of there. It was a stampede.

18. What a story!
I hope it wasn't too scary for your dad. Maybe just mostly for y'all's safety than anything? :)

24. I have no control over her.
Hell I didn't even have any control over her when I was married! :P

Besides, she's living in upstate Washington with her SO there...

25. Is her name Lydia?
A tenuous connection, yes, but who doesn't love the Marx Bros?
