Thursday’s open line


Sorry, Boho, but the simple fact is that clowns are evil. Even a child can tell you that. I myself became aware of the Clown Conspiracy as early as 1972 (The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus used to begin its season in Pittsburgh and end in New York).

In college I learned all about these Bozo bin Ladens and their tools of deceit, from their secret training facility in Sarasota, Florida to their seemingly entertaining use of Volkswagens as vehicles for their inevitable clown invasion. Today that plastic flower squirts water. Tomorrow… who knows?
