"Step right up ladies and germs - the circus is coming to Springfield! Actually, it's three circuses – each more circus-y than the last. And NO this wasn't a scheduling error. It was totally intentional. ANYWAY... Fancy a freak show? The Burnsum and Bailey Circus is where it's at! High wire animal stunts? Head to Ding-A-Ling Bros. Circus. Need a fancy French circus? Then Cirque de Puree is your circus du jour. Still not enough circuses for you? Then you probably have a problem."
