(It's just a joke.
In order to cure my misocoulria.
I do not hate clowns - except the killing ones.)

(in a random order

We need not fear the clowns

The clown is not exactly human. With respect of our norms for the average human, the clown is either too fat or too tall, too thin or too short. His mouth is painted to appear exaggeratedly large and his eyes and head are often too small. He is a misproportioned human. Nor are his cognitive skills near the norm; generally he is too stupid. And his body can also take abuse that no actual person could. He can be hit on the head with a sledge hammer and suffer no more than a dizzy swoon where the rest of us would be hospedalized with a concussion. He takes falls with abandon and always pops up for another slam. It is as if his bones were made of rubber. Instead of breaking, they snap back into place. 

It's because the clown is marked as so ontologically different from us - expecially in terms of his imperviousness to bodily harm - that we have no fear for his life and limb. We can laugh at the way in which his body with his incongruities taunts our concept of the human, because the mayhem the clown engages is nonthreatening. We need not fear for the clown; nor, in the standard case, need we fear clowns. They are, for the most part, benign. Thus, though monstrous, clowns and the other denizens of slapstick incur no horror, since no genuine harm will result in or from their shenanigans.

46 ways to kill a clown

Duncan: How long have you been working there?

Owen: Oh! The park? I've always been there. Ever since I was a small Cambodian kid. 

Of corse, that was after 'Nam. I was in the shit. 

Then I joined the circus to become a clown fighter. I know about 46 ways to kill a clown. I hate clowns. 

I'm kidding, except for the part where I really do hate them.
