Is the tape rolling? 'k, let's go then.

So, yeah, when I joined the circus, the whole point was to get away. I was kinda shy and I thought, I'll hide behind the makeup, no one'll ever both me again.

And I was fine, only...you wouldn't believe what goes on behind the scenes! Clowns, we don't get nothing, and that's good with me, but the ringmaster musta been doing every one of those trapeze artists. Women and men. I'd be sitting in my trailer, wiping off all the layers of white with cold cream, and from the next trailer over, man, let me tell you. Some of them were screamers.

And groupies. Good thing no one's interested in the clowns, 'cause I never coulda handled the attention. But you take the strongman, and, jeez, women would hang out behind the tents waiting for him. He always seemed to treat 'em well, but, think of it, every night?

And then this one chick last month, who had a thing for cats, I guess. Alicia, that was her name, and she waylaid the lion tamer--heh, "waylaid", yeah. She was all over him! None of us sleeping that night, with the screaming, and even I kinda thought about her a little, 'cause she was hot. Real hot. Curves like you wouldn't believe, sweet little ass. Aw yeah. And then to top it off she tells Rico, he's the tamer, tells him on the way out that if she could come back the next night, she'd call her brother, 'cause he makes movies, and she's see if...uh...you don't have, um...um.

So, yeah, anyway, I--hey, hold on! Siddown! I didn't do nothing to her! I don't even like! Aaah! Stop hitting me! Not in the face! Not in the face!

So there. Anything else I can do for you?
