Liked this one from my pensioner's magazine -

When a husband and wife who worked for a circus went to an adoption agency, the social workers raised doubts about their suitability.

The couple then produced photos of their 50-foot motor home which was clean and well maintained and equipped with a beautiful nursery.

The social workers then raised concerns about the education and extraneous influences the child would receive whilst in the couple's care. "We've arranged for a full-time tutor" said the couple, "who will teach the child all the usual subjects along with French, Mandarin and computer skills"

Then the social workers again expressed concern about a child being raised in a circus environment.  "We shall employ a nanny" said the couple "who will be a certified expert in pediatric care, welfare and diet"

Finally the social workers, satisfied at last, asked  "So what age and sex of child are you looking for?"

"It doesn't really matter" said the couple. "as long as they fit in the cannon"

Ooh, you can't say THAT!

Did you know that "rooster" as a name for an adult male chicken was invented by 18th century puritans in America, so they didn't have to say "cock"?
