Fear of Clowns

clown.jpg In Ecuador, the clowns are really creepy critters.......dead-white faces with red blotches on the cheeks. We were told that they represent the Spanish conquistadores who came with pale skin and sunburned easily. The clowns have crabby-looking faces which I guess indicates the bad intentions of the invaders toward the natives.

Come to think of I agree...I was NEVER afraid of clowns and never even thought anything in the way of sinister terms about them until my girls shared they were afraid of clowns. Thanks to Steven King...
 
I'm not afraid of them, but usually don't find them funny, either. For that matter, I don't even find most stand-up comics funny, They and the clowns are trying to hard; I guess I like my humor more subtle.

I agree with you and actually used to find most clowns ridiculous. Now they have become evil .

I think we talked about this before on the forum. I don't like clowns, and even as a child I was afraid of clowns. /QUOTE]

SB, I can remember when I was a pup watching Bozo and Clarabell on tv and laughing but like the title of the old Loretta Lynn song, "We've Come A Long Way Baby".
