I swear he was drunk the whole time he was on. Even as a kid I could imagine the alcohol lines emanating from his mouth as he spoke. I would take Blinky any day over the Don.

(21,506 posts)5. When I was a small child I went to Bozo's circus
at the end of the show he stood there as the audience filed out and he said hi or shook the kids hands on the way out. When it was my turn I was so nervous I accidentally stepped on his over sized clownshoe. He said thanks kid you just crushed my lunch...
LOL I was horrified that I had smashed his lunch. That stayed with me for years.
Fucking clowns!
