Evil Evil Clown: The Smell Of An Evil Clown; Fear And Loafers

Are you easily embarrassed? Do you you fear the attention of an audience? Do people laugh with you; or at you?

Have you noticed that if an evil clown senses your fear they will glom onto you and rope you into their act in front of God and everyone?

So you pretend not to be afraid, you try not to let them smell your fear, or worse, you act like you hate clowns intensely.

Now that may put off an amateur, someone who simply slips on a nose to pull a one-off office prank.

But to a real clown you have just marked yourself out as a challenge, and the best kind of mark:

They can smell your fear.
Even if you win you lose.

You're going to get some uncomfortable attention. You don't like attention do you?

You really won't like the kind of attention you are about to get.

And the clown, the clown wants attention, all kinds of attention, just look at the way their dressed. Look at how they act. Why would anyone want, or need, that kind of attention?

Any half-bred clown is going to make you look like spunk smeared on an underwear ad in front of the everyone no matter what you do.

They've either thought it through before hand, gone over it, or been through it many times already.

They know all the moves you could make and they've got an arsenal of counter moves fully primed.

They know the angles. They see you coming. They've trained like commandos.

Maybe they'll let you take the first shot. Perchance they'll just jump on you at the first sign of resistance, hesitation or fear.

But pros usually work over amateurs with a handicap to keep things interesting.

Who's in control here? Some clowns love power. But is it more powerful to pretend to give power away?

Even if it blows up in their face and they look like a fool in the end, guess what? They win, they are a fool, they got attention. And you, you look like a mean sob without a sense of humor and you just got a lot of attention you didn't want.

What makes it so dammed funny?

According to James Beattie (1776):

Laughter arises from the view of two or more inconsistent, unsuitable, or incongruous parts or circumstances, considered as united in complex object or assemblage, or as acquiring a sort of mutual relation from the peculiar manner in which the mind takes notice of them.

E.g.:

Season's Greetings:

I wanted to send your family a Christmas Card of a monkey making love to a shaved beaver, but I have to have it copyrighted first. So, instead (now that the photo shoot is over), I am sending you a real monkey, a beaver, half a bottle of Viagra and 6 tabs of ecstasy.

Merry XXX-Mas,

An evil clown is as empty and as full as a bible full of blank pages.
