I never could figure out how clowns were supposed to be funny. When I was a kid and my parents would take us to the circus I was at first bored by the clowns and then annoyed by them as they tended to interrupt interesting performances and generally get in the way. Also, I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to set themselves up intentionally to be objects of ridicule. Why would anyone make a career out of looking and acting like a total idiot. I understand the role of the "fool" in the royal courts of the middle ages but I expect that role has now been assigned to network anchor persons. Sorry, I just find clowns pointless.
