Tell Your Best Joke

A circus couple goes to an adoption agency to adopt a son.

The agency official says, "I don't know if we can adopt to you people-- always traveling, uncertain income, generally bad reputation of circus people."

They said, "How dare you! This is 2025! We are not gypsies but professionals. We have been doing our act for twenty years, and we have a contract, benefits and a retirement account. We live in a beautiful trailer. And the circus has a school and full-time teacher."

The official says, "Well, okay, I apologize. What age were you thinking of adopting?"

They said, "It's not too important as long as he will fit in the cannon."

Jerome had to travel to Europe on business for a week. He lived alone with his cherished companion, Snowpuff, his cat.
Since Snowpuff could not go with him, he enlisted his brother Floyd to care for her. He told Floyd that he would call him daily to make sure that Snowpuff was doing OK.

Jerome left for Europe and the very next day called Floyd to inquire how Snowpuff was doing. Floyd said “Snowpuff is dead!”.
Jerome was grief stricken and beside himself screaming at Floyd for being so thoughtlessly abrupt. He lectured Floyd to be more empathetic by breaking the news gradually. He said you could have started by saying that Snowpuff was up on the garage roof and we can’t get her down. Then when I call the next day, you could say that Snowpuff fell from the roof and broke a small bone in her neck. And finally when I called the third day you would tell me that she passed away painlessly in her sleep.

Floyd was so sorry and apologized profusely. Jerome, sad, but accepted his brother’s apology, and continues the conversation asking Floyd how the family is doing?.
There’s a short pause following which Floyd says, “well Grandma’s up on the garage roof and we can’t get her down.”
