Registrations are way down at Clown Colleges today. No one wants to scare small kids for the peanuts that they pay. Older Bozos are alarmed that no one is enthused to follow their profession and try to fill their shoes. Sales of makeup are way down, ditto for funny clothes. And vendors can’t remember when they sold their last red nose. When the one ring circus comes to town clowns will be hard to spot The clown cars that they used to drive are rusting on the lot. The reason for the scarcity is obvious to me; All those with clown potential serve in Washington D.C.

National Clown Shortage
Registrations are way down at Clown Colleges today. No one wants to scare small kids for the peanuts that they pay. Older Bozos are alarmed that no one is enthused to follow their profession and try to fill their shoes. Sales of makeup are way down, ditto for funny clothes. And vendors can’t remember when they sold their last red nose. When the one ring circus comes to town clowns will be hard to spot The clown cars that they used to drive are rusting on the lot. The reason for the scarcity is obvious to me; All those with clown potential serve in Washington D.C.
