If the clown shoe fits….

In one week’s time, a couple in Wasco, CA, who were just clowning around, caused a major social media uproar.

Donning clown attire and a couple of helium balloons, the couple headed into town, took a few random photos, and posted them on the World Wide Web.

For those of you who are new to the World Wide Web, be warned: IT (also known as information technology) is not a force to be reckoned with. You know you’re in trouble when someone ‘safely’ ends a sentence with a preposition – if they’re donning a clown suit, you’re screwed.

Once photos of wascoclown hit the web, the public went bananas. Anyone who knows clowns (and anyone who has read this blog before) knows creepy clowns and banana bread go hand in hand.

For clowns in Wasco, the only place their hands are going is into handcuffs. Apparently, in addition to the wascoclown couple, there are at least 20  ‘copycat’ clowns out and about and they, too, are making the town folk uncomfortable. As a result, the authorities are on alert and at the ready.

So far, they’ve made one clown arrest – Bozo Joe was charged with annoying a minor, goofy bastard. Sounds like just another day at the circus. With one clown down and 19 to go, one best be on their best behavior if in Wasco. Word to the wise: If the clown shoe fits, don’t wear it and if you do, don’t put it on the World Wide Web.
