ME TOO! When I was a kid, there was this guy that used to dress up as a clown in our local parades. He would always run over and grab cute little girls standing in the front and pick them up and handle them all over and kiss them (I know, I was one of them). He would also come regularly to the public pool and sneak up behind and pull cute little girls under the water (I know, I was one of them & I couldn’t swim either). I don’t know what ever happened to him, but I think he was a pervert & I’ve been deathly afraid of clowns ever since.
There’s also John Wayne Gacy........
A friend of mine had the misfortune of owning that painting.
