So 2 funny things happened to me yesterday.
I was at a animal show in Puce yesterday. It was a big family festival/ get together. I pulled up to the stage and as I was parking the clown/magician guy was packing up. Now there is the unspoken camaraderie/ animosity between birthday show performers. We are all in the same business but we compete with each other.
The clown/magician says to me "what are you here for?" Obviously he is new on the circut.
So I tell him I ma here to do a reptile show for the kids.
He says to me "well that makes sense, you look like a snake guy."
So I say to him with this almost arrogant tone "well you look like... a clown"
I kind of felt like a prick after but in retrospect...it was kind of funny.
Story #2:
So I'm doing the show. Everything is going well. The kids are having fun the adults are laughing, and now it's time for the big finally. Tiny, our huge Burmese Python. So I open the box and start to pull Tiny's head out. I look up at the kids like I always do when I pull him out (I love to see the looks on the kids faces when they see her). So I notice this one little boy in the front row with this look of shock/horror on his face. Next thing I know the kids pants start to get wet. So out comes Tiny and it was like the kid had opened a tap on to full. He lost all control of his balder and started pissing everywhere. I quietly told one of the parents and they carried him out of there before any of the other kids noticed (still pissing as they carried him away).
Now I know a kid pissing his pants at a party isn't that funny to most people but come on. That was awesome!
Don't worry, the kid was ok and he came back out after he got changed and none of the other kids knew about it.
I love my job...
