1. A Clown Was My Boss at Every Job I ever had...
Here's a song that might make you smile :)

You can listen to it streaming from here:
http://www.sayhername.com/tmj_sosia.php

Clowns (by Too Much Joy)

When I was a kid my dad had pictures of these clowns
He hung them on my wall and wouldn't let me take them down
I didn't understand then and I still can't figure out
What those goddamn clowns were so sad about

A clown was my boss at every job I ever had
Clowns run all the record companies that ever said we're bad
A clown pretended to be a girl who pretended to be my friend
Ths world is run by clowns who can't wait for it to end

I have yet to meet a kid not scared to death of clowns
They can't walk and they don't talk they've got painted on frowns
A clown with a gun I hope I never see
Would he shoot himself or shoot me?

A clown taught every class I took at my old high school
Clowns all wear Speedos when they hang out by the pool
Clowns dress up like cops and threaten to call my folks
This town is filled with clowns who don't get my jokes

They fall on their asses
It takes lots of practice

I have nightmares filled with clowns and you're there too
You have a big red nose and stupid floppy shoes
You're becoming one I can see the signs
I hate clowns almost as much as I hate mimes

7. you should listen to the song, it's great :)
Too Much Joy are one of my all time favorites, and the founder of the band lets fans listen to all of their albums in streaming Real Media format from his website.

2. Maybe
it has something to do with people hiding behind masks and appearing to be nice when you know deep down they have evil intententions. Perhaps we should make a clown the repub logo of choice :)

8. Is that weird?
I suggest you rent Stephen King's "It" Then you can truly have a reason for being afraid of clowns.... truly.


It's the reason for the WH treason.

10. A friend's son is scared of clowns too
He was born w/a club foot, and the Shriners took on his case. He had 3 surgeries, the last one when he was 3 years old. He is 9 now, and terrified of clowns.

The Shriners brought clowns to cheer up the children, he now associates pain and fear with clowns.

17. Can't sleep....Clowns will eat me.
"To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad."

- Jack Handey

22. My friend has a theory about why clowns scare people...
He said that since they represent such intense, unchecked, unnatural joy, it is incredibly likely that at any moment they could turn around and become intensely and unnaturally evil. Like 1 and -1 or something.
