A man decides to join the circus. He shows up
to demonstrate his skills to the impresario.

“I have the most unusual act,” he announces.
“I’m sure it will amaze you.”

He proceeds to climb a tall tower, and jumps off.
He flaps his arms wildly, and finally his fall slows.
He soars forward, then swoops upward, turns
and swoops back again. Finally he stops in mid
air and gently lowers himself to the ground.

The impresario stares blankly at him for a long time.

Finally he says, “Is that all you’ve got? Bird imitations?”
