A very funny new (to me) joke! #FT #joke #LOL
... Barry Cryer rings to tell me about the couple from a circus who go to an adoption agency where officials are doubtful about their accommodation. They produce photographs of their 15-metre-long caravan in which the back half is a magnificently equipped nursery.
But what about education for a child whose family is permanently on the move? "We have employed an Oxford don who will teach the child all the main subjects, plus Mandarin Chinese and IT skills."
But, they persist, what about health? "Our full-time nanny is also an expert in paediatric welfare and diet."
The agency is happy and ask the couple what age of child they were looking for.
"It doesn't really matter," they say, "so long as he fits into the canon."
