Eventually it was a toss up between makin
a lampshade out of used teabags and analysing and deciphering
the phrase ‘It’s a Circus.’
Not being able to find enough used teabags
in the house I settled it in favour of the circus thing.
Don’t think that this is an easy task.
Have you ever watched Cirque de Soleil or The Chinese Circus?
Their operation is certainly no circus. Is it?
Anyway, here is my analysis of an organisation,
establishment or business that is a circus and/or is run
like a circus.
The Ringmaster is usually the guy who owns
the joint.
He does not know much about the actual circus acts and certainly
can’t perform, so he wears a real fancy outfit and
calls the shots. Preferably on a megaphone.
The animal trainer is responsible for training
all the animals that work at the circus. He teaches them
perform tricks in response to cracks from his whip. No crack,
no trick and hence no performance.
And
the clown is the one with the extreme makeup that
runs around all over the place in funny clothes not
only pretending, but actually believing that he/she
owns the place. |
