Clowns International
October 14th, 2010
This may be common knowledge however I don’t think I have ever come across it myself. Having received a weird text message from my brother I was directed towards Clowns International which is the official website if you want to become a clown. It has ideas about being a clown and what you should do if you want to do it professionally.
The strange thing is that when you register to become a clown you have to paint your clown face onto an egg, which is then stored somewhere to prevent duplication of the make-up (how you are supposed to do this in a world of six billion people I couldn’t say). If you happen to still be practising as a clown when you die the members of Clowns International smash the egg, as if your entire existence was based on that egg.
Words alone can’t describe how strange that is.

How do you know what all the other eggs look like before you paint yours?

You don’t. I guess you pass a picture of your FACE to some clown committee and they look through the clown database to se if your FACE matches someone else’s FACE.

I love the idea of a board room with a massive table, and a load of clowns sat around having some high-brow meeting.

And they’re all dressed up in full make-up and costumes discussing relatively normal matters like who’s turn is it to make the tea and who should start the collection for Doris, the cleaner, who’s been working for 24 years.
