040- Zeke Causes Trouble with Gertie

Jerry of the Circus. Jerry of the Circus. Hey there Jerry. What you doing around the Menagerie tent?

Waiting for Olson to get through putting his elephants with their act. He's about to do here now. Yeah that's what I figured. I know cause I've been watching this show but how can you tell?

We got all the cages out of this Menagerie tent. Except that one over there. Yeah but those seals have to do their turn before they can go to the runs. Yeah I know. Their act goes on late in the show. I suppose you're going to take down this tent now huh?

What a no Jerry. You never see me around, less than I'm putting up or taking down some canvas. Yeah, I know. We've been in Jackson City so long, can't we? I guess I haven't seen you for almost four days now.

That's right. Mind if I hang around while you load? Yeah, bet I don't mind. Of course, it's always the danger of you being put to work. You know I like that. You're certainly a glutton for punishment when it comes to working around the circus.

It's fun for me. As a matter of fact, we must all kind of like it, Jerry, or we wouldn't be doing it. It's a big job, isn't it? Yeah, but there's lots of better and easier job.

If it's just a job we're thinking of. You mean you could be doing something better? I've had lots of offers, it's better money in shorter hours. Well, why did you take those other jobs in?

Sometimes and we're all stuck in the mud or when we're struggling to get our canvas up or down in the wind or rain. I asked myself that question. Well, what do you answer yourself? You ought to know, you're only a newcomer.
