THE BALLOON MAN

A guy goes to the circus and sees an old friend from school.

He asks what he does at the circus.

The friend says "I get inside a big plastic bag.

Then the elephant swallows me.

Then a little while later he poops me out."
The guy is horrified.

He says that's terrible and offers his friend a job with a good salary, an office and a company car. The friend says, "What, and give up show business?"
