Carny Clowns
I wasn’t sure whether or not to believe him when he said his grandmother had been killed by a balloon that had been twisted into the shape of a cat. He was pretty adamant, but a lot of the folks in here are really certain that they’re telling you the God honest’s truth when they swear the toilet told them to urinate in the corner instead.
I can understand a fear of clowns, though. They’re weird people, even behind the poorly painted face and horribly large red nose. Half of them are drunks, the rest are a wee bit too friendly with the kiddies, all are on the verge of suicide.

Well, Bill just happened to be in the way.
