America Might Be Evil, But Man – What A Pair Of Legs! - Litotes The Clown

Who’s the Evil Clown again?

Cory McDonald AKA Mr. Twister the Clown used to walk around ahead of the parking patrol and put money in peoples meters so they wouldn’t get ticketed.

Q: Good Clown OR Bad Clown?
A: Illegal Clown Activity must be punished regardless of the moral, ethical or aesthetic intentions of the perp.

All Boys and Girls Know That No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

This kind of Samaritan neighborly behaviour was intolerable to the local jackboots of uniformity enforcement. Ticket loving Cops found a law that requires only the driver ante up the monopoly tax.

“Daddy can I put the money in?”
“Sorry honey, I wouldn’t want you to go to prison for inability to pay the fine now that you allowance is cut off… besides,it’s against the law.”
Twister was fined for ‘interfering with parking enforcement’.

In a quixotic moment the clown fought city hall.

The council killed the bylaw while wearing clown noses.

Twister became a local folk hero and a small victory was won over the forces of stupidity, pettiness and dumb laws.

The Fuzz was furious over lost revenue and being made to look stupid, petty, intolerant, money grubbing and mean spirited on a national level.

The law is not believed to have been applied before or since.

The real lesson here is that parking meters, fines and their enforcement are designed and need to make the public fail.

Q: What do Litotes The Clown and John the Baptist have in common?

A: The same middle name.
