It might be hard to believe, but not all clowns are murderers. Some are just really funny people with big red noses and floppy shoes who are good at riding unicycles and juggling.

My buddy Buzzo is one of the good ones. He rarely fills his squirting flower with acid, and he almost never chokes people with his never-ending handkerchief.

One time, he did honk his horn in the face of some blind guys who were trying to cross a busy street, and they may have been hit by cars a little bit. And sure, maybe he put ammonia in their IVs when he visited them in the hospital, but how was he supposed to know they wanted to keep being alive?

According to Buzzo, it doesn’t count as murder because those guys were ugly and he hated them.

Are clowns funny or scary, neither or both? Let me know with a comment. And if you don’t happen to have anything at all to say about clowns, just stare at that disturbing picture until your mandatory 30 seconds are up. Then afterwards, go take a shower. Make sure you lock the bathroom door.
