My job as a rodeo clown working for The Rootin' Tootin' Wildcat Rope and Revolver Rodeo made me
wonder about my future as I entered my umpteenth year with the traveling show.
|
  |
"What am I gonna do with my life?" I asked Murky The Clown one day which turned out to be his first
day working at The Rootin' Tootin' Wildcat Rope and Revolver Rodeo.
|
  |
"You have been with the show umpteen years," Murky said. "Why would you think of leaving now?"
|
  |
"Because," I said, "I dunno how long is umpteen. At my last birthday party three of the old cowpokes
just made up a number to put on the cake."
|
  |
"We get custom cakes on our birthdays working here?"
|
  |
"I think I ought to settle down somewhere," I said.
|
  |
"What would you do?"
|
  |
"Maybe there's a small town in some lightly populated state that could use a good rodeo clown, one
that was always around."
