field circus n.

[DEC]. There is an entire genre of jokes about field circus engineers:

Q: How can you recognize a field circus engineer
with a flat tire?
A: He's changing one tire at a time to see which one is flat.
Q: How can you recognize a field circus engineer
who is out of gas?
A: He's changing one tire at a time to see which one is flat.
Q: How can you tell it's your field circus engineer?
A: The spare is flat, too.

[See [Easter egging] for additional insight on these jokes.]

There is also the `Field Circus Cheer' (from the old [plan file] for DEC on MIT-AI):

Maynard! Maynard!
Don't mess with us!
We're mean and we're tough!
If you get us confused
We'll screw up your stuff.
