Needless to say, the clowns of the world (the ones who wear make-up, I mean) couldn't be happier about the week-long celebration:
Oh. Well, I mean, most of the clowns are excited. Why, just look at this giddy fella!

Mr. Bubbles?
Uh...sir? [honking rubber nose] Hello?
Well, maybe we'll just leave him to rest in peace, and move on to...


Oh, look, here's a happy clown! So happy, in fact, he's gone cross-eyed!

Theeere it is.)
On the other hand, he might be bleeding demised. You know, ceased-to-be. Expired and gone to meet his maker. Stiff, bereft of life, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This may, in fact, be an EX clown.

Well, no matter; here's a clown with a full LOAD of...uh...exuberance:
Happy Clown Week, Jennifer, Julie M., Heather B., Eve & Noelle, Ashley, & Kathryn H.! May all your pies fly true, your noses honk, and your cars maintain their TARDIS- like defiance of the laws of physics.
