For some reason the theme from The Benny Hill Show started going through my mind when I read that :)

By what possible mental contortion does a postman's tattooed leg suggest Benny Hill? :conf2:

No, you're OK, really, I'm not going there. :pop:
 
This smiley doesn't quite convey it - :eek:

Mods! Can we please have a 'backing away slowly' one?

    THE 'KILLER CLOWN' CRAZE SWEPT THE UK IN 2016

    • killer clowns ' are reportedly on the rampage again terrorising pedestrians as Halloweenfever grips Britain.

      Youths wearing creepy clown masks and others in jump suits have been throwing themselves in front of pedestrians and cars or staring through restaurant windows to intimidate people.

      In some particularly horrifying cases clowns knock on a family's front door late at night and when a homeowner opens the door, just stand there.

      A 12-year-old boy was chased in Castlemilk by a man wearing a clown outfit earlier this month - the youngster managed to reach a family member's house before he was caught.

      And in Canterbury, Kent, dozens of worried residents have reported sightings to the police after clowns were seen jumping in front of people.

Dunno if I've mentioned this before, but I feel that clowns are scary because kids are forced to watch them and be amused. After a certain age, seeing grown men stamping in buckets of custard loses its appeal, however weirdly they're dressed. A kid who's reached that level of maturity might find others' continued amusement disconcerting.
 
I liked it when their cars fell apart at a circus, probably only because my Dad was/is a mechanic though ..
 
Shakes the Clown has been charged with groping two women at a holiday haunted house in Wisconsin, records show.

shakesmug17.jpg


According to a criminal complaint, the victims had their breasts pawed last month while waiting to enter a “haunted barn” at a campground in Janesville. Police had been summoned to the scene following reports that women were “touched inappropriately by a clown.”

Two women told cops that a “clown with green hair” first approached them and asked, “Do you want me to Donald Trump?” While making this inquiry, the clown “made a hand gesture towards their vaginas and made a squeezing motion,” the complaint alleges.

Both women said that they “were not touched at that time,” but had been “caught off guard by what the clown had said and found it inappropriate.”

Following the “Trump” comment, the clown allegedly grabbed and squeezed the breast of one woman, and then did the same thing to her companion. The clown’s actions, the women told police, left them feeling “violated and uncomfortable.” Neither victim, investigators noted, gave “the clown consent to grab her breast.”

A sheriff’s deputy subsequently identified the alleged assailant as Brandon Goral, a 43-year-old Janesville resident. Goral said that he “goes by the clown name of Shakes.”

Send in the clowns: The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army wants you

Trigger Warning: if you are coulrophobic (suffer from a paralyzing fear of clowns), this article is probably not for you. Select another wonderful piece written by the great contributors here at Dangerous Minds, as you will not enjoy the information I am about to relay to you. If you have no fear of Ronald McDonald or Bozo and their ilk, you will be quite interested to find that beginning in the mid-2000s, a clown army was established in order to fight for our right to party.
Okay, so maybe they weren’t exactly fighting for our right to party as such, but CIRCA—the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army—was most certainly established in order to keep The Man from trying to keep us down in a variety of ways. To quote from their now-defunct-but-Internet-Archived-website, CIRCA’s aims were highly political but filtered through the theatrical. They state:

CIRCA is reclaiming the art of Rebel Clowning, it’s combatants don’t pretend to be clowns, they are clowns, real trained clowns. Clowns that have run away from the anaemic safety of the circus and escaped the banality of kids parties, Fools that have thrown away their sceptres and broken the chains that shackled them to the throne.
CIRCA aims to make clowning dangerous again, to bring it back to the street, restore its disobedience and give it back the social function it once had: its ability to disrupt, critique and heal society. Since the beginning of time tricksters (the mythological origin or all clowns) have embraced life’s paradoxes, creating coherence through confusion - adding disorder to the world in order to expose its lies and speak the truth.

Now, that sort of income and security may be disappearing.

“Young people have not been excited by clowns,” says Richard “Junior” Snowberg, a World Clown Association founder and a retired professor [sic]. “They’re more excited by entertainment on screens.”

The World Clown Association has 2,400 members, about half its peak membership in the 1990s.

Here's a true evil clown: a woman who dressed up as one for kinky sex.
I first read about this in the Times which reported it in a frankly comical tone. The Telegraph's version is hardly more respectful. Comedy gold.

Mother, 19, stabbed boyfriend during sex

A young mother has been jailed for 11 years for stabbing her occasional boyfriend as they has sexual intercourse after texting him to say men should only be used as "human sacrifice".

Zoe Adams, 19, has dressed up as a clown and put a pillow over Kieran Bewick's head to make their encounter more exhilarating on July 29 last year, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
 
Found this on Ebay..... I will NOT be buying it! It's some sort of printed fabric you turn into something. I#'m not going any closer to find out any more!
