Things we Learned From the Circus

The Greatest Show on Earth!

Just Closed Forever!

Last week the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus closed down for good.

This circus was older than baseball, it was older than most things you may know of and hold near and dear to your heart.

The end of the circus is a bit sad, but we can also learn a few things. One of the things we learned is that there are some great lines in business and personal use that have entered the common vernacular that came from the circus. I have listed them below as indented phrases and followed by “Things we learned from the circus”

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was founded 146 years ago.

If you never made it to their circus you missed a piece of Americana.

Yes, the “circus” had gotten a bad rap in the last few years for how they take care of animals. I’m sure there was some truth to that, but I don’t want to argue those points here. I’m not trying to discount anything or any claims that were made. But, I want to point out … the circus was an innovator.
