I wonder how many people are going to freak? I know among my personal friends 5 or more people that are terrified of clowns.

Could get lucky... maybe trolls are scared of clowns too... LOL

Becky-Lee will freak. Of course there's good reason....

When she was probably 10ish her father brought home an old 3ft tall clown with an unintentionally scary plastic face. Beck's bedroom was in the basement, which can be scary enough, but her dear daddy decided to stick the clown around her bedroom door unexpectedly... while it held in its hand the biggest butcherknife we owned.

Man, that girl has a great set of lungs!!!

I F'ing hate clowns.

Maybe it's that whole John Wayne Gacy thing, but they creep me out.

Oh, come on now... clowns can be nice, too! Don't believe everything you see on TV (or in your basement when you're 10?)!

I am with you on this one Debs...To my eternal shame I once (many years ago) punched a clown who was performing on the street when he blocked my way and would not let me pass (the old fight or flight adrenalin kicked in)....They are all freaks evil and hate the world

There are good clowns that make you smile and laugh.
Then there are evil ones, clowns gone wild, and bad.
Movies give them a bad reputation.

Clown have feelings, too...

Here are the lyris to an old (1967) song
By "Smokey Robinson and the Miracles"

"The Tears of a Clown"
Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad
Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah

CHORUS:
Well they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's noone around
Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Cos I need to go, oh I need you so
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know
For others I put on a show ...CHORUS

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in a lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
Cos really I'm sad...

There must be an outside-of-the-box solution to the challenge...
