I am in a play opening on Broadway and I have one line.

I have been in the minors for 10 years. I get called up to the Majors in September.

Run until the trail runs out.

I get to try out for the circus every weekend. Most weekends, I try out as the sad clown. One weekend, I tried out as the trapeze artist.

(I was gonna say lion tamer, but I don't want to tick off the animal rights folks. Plus, when it comes to the animal acts in the circus, I happen to BE one of those animal rights folks.)

And once again Mr. Wizard (aka: Stevie Ray) explains the internet.

I was not able to execute the quintuple flip. Waiting to see if the triple flip will get me in, at least as a substitute act.

I always explain my cryptic references and bad jokes when asked.

I call upon you now: say what?

Course you'll need an additional springboard.

I always wanted to be an astronaut but instead I got really rich and bought a seat on a Soyuz.

And the BAA judges your clown-worthiness based not on how old you are when you audition, but on how old you'll be at some later date when the circus is actually in town.

It's a major accomplishment for me, personally, but nobody else really cares about it.
