Al G. Barnes Circus #4


Washing out the bear den on the way to parade.

My wife and two of her sisters went to see Englebert Humperdink last night and I have since heard from a reliable source that during his performance, one of them threw her back-brace up on the stage. Might have injured the poor guy.

I worked a Tom Jones concert last week - there was some concern that instead of bikini pants being thrown it would be Depends....

We used to do the same thing but we got the Fire Dept. to come out and do the hosing for a little free publicity when ever we could. The Lions hated it and the tigers loved naturally. Good thing I gave up on the lions.

In Minneapolis one year the Fire Dept made 3 or 4 trips to the bldg. before they found out Guy Gossing was washing his cages with a fire hose. The hose had a surge alarm that rang at the fire house.

I live just across the street from Fire Station #2 in my town. These people are the hardest working people you would want to meet. They save the newspapers for me when a litter of puppys show up at my place. The Assistant Fire Chief keeps my yard looking nice and I groom his three Malteses. They go to a lot of things besides fires. They are all paramedics also. They give me old fire hoses for me to make toys for the pets also. Talk about heavy props!!

Last summer I replaced all the hoses. In the afternoon I heard the largest of the pets "Rottys 4" playing, barking just haveing a ball it sounded like. I went to check on them and somehow I had left one of the hoses to close to the play pen and they had bitten holes into the rubber. There must have been a hundred holes in that hose with water squerting out. A new toy invented."The attack hose"
