It started as a half prank, half protest against senators tacking on last minute addendums to bills. Your local congressman thought he was doing a good deed. He thought that even though everyone thought the health care bill was great, nobody would be stupid enough to pass it with that little extra part added in.
Apparently, your local congressman thought wrong. Apparently, the bill was that important.
Now, everyone has to go to clown school, because it's unAmerican not to. Really, a sense of humor is a good thing, but to require it for citizenship seems like they're taking things a little far.
Nevermind that now. You're here at your first day of clown class, wondering what use you will gain from learning clown tricks, especially since you are a very sober-minded accountant.
"Hey," The guy next to you says, "this sure is lame, right?"
The man is wearing a pinstripe, water-proof business suit with a blood red power tie. He has perfectly round glasses and a crewcut.
"Yeah." You reply nonchalantly.
Suddenly, the guy rips off the suit to reveal it was just a clever disguise, and out steps a clown.
"Hello everybody," He says. "Lesson one. The art of surprise. If you can mislead someone. You can make them laugh."
He honks his blood red clown nose.
You stare at him for a while, and soon can't help but laugh. Maybe you thought wrong of him. Maybe this clown gig won't be so bad after all. Maybe all the world really needs is a little laughter. That's when the police come in and arrest the clown for child abuse.
Now you know.
