One day after returning home, Dusty checks the newspaper and notices that a local circus is hiring.
He calls the circus to apply for a job since he wants to make a change in his life.
“Sure, could you tell us about your act?”
“Well, I studied trapeze for fun and can execute flawlessly without a net. “
“Thank you, but we already have plenty of trapeze artists. “
“Okay, then. In basketball, I can make up to five perfect three-pointers. “
“That’s not very fascinating; what else can you do?”
“Well, I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under five seconds and win any chess match in under three moves, so…”
“I’m going to put a stop to you right there, sir. All of this is impressive, but we are a circus. We need things that the public can see and enjoy, so I don’t think you’re a good fit, but have a great life. “
They hang up, and Dusty is disappointed as he goes about his day, eating and relaxing, until it dawns on him.
“Damn, I should have told them I’m a horse!”
