I was raised in Sarasota Florida (circus city of America) home of Ringling Brothers Circus. It wasn’t until I joined the Air Force in 1963 that I realized it wasn’t normal to walk around in clown gear and have a pet gorilla or lion in your back yard.
And the major drug deal just around the corner went unhindered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHH what a wonderful place America has become!.

They also used to have Clown College there. Admittance was very competitive, as wannabe clowns have big shoes to fill.
I hate clowns.
I hate people on stilts.
I really hate clowns on stilts.
I also feel dubious about people dressed as Barney or Mascots and such.
It is possible I need therapy.
