The Juggler's Assistant - Twice!

One able-bodied juggler's assistant wanted. No experience necessary. Any takers?

Juggler: Here, can you hold my glasses? [hands his 1980s style sun glasses to Ethan]

Ethan: [turning to me] What do I do with these?

Me: Just hold them, I guess, until he asks for them back.

The juggler starts his ball juggling routine and finishes with a four-ball flourish.

Juggler: Who has my glasses?

Ethan: I do!

Juggler: Come on out here and put them on me.



Juggler: I need another volunteer.

Ryan: Pick me! Pick me!

Juggler: [points to Ryan] You kid. Come on out here!

Juggler: What's your name?

Ryan says something that most of us can't hear. Apparently the juggler dude didn't hear too well either...even though he was right next to Ryan.

Juggler: What's that? Frank? Okay, everyone please give a hand to Frank!

Ryan stands quietly with a somewhat sheepish look on his face. Thought cloud here. [Ryan: He's messed up my name.]

Juggler: Does he understand English? [looking in the general direction of our family]

Dorothy: Yes, he does and his name is Ryan!

Woman in Audience: That sounds better. Who names their kid Frank these days?
