Send in the Clowns

Somewhere in Nashville there must be a circus. Somewhere in that circus there must be clowns. I know because I can tell you where the clowns are: my apartment building.

I stepped out of my apartment today to head to the grocery store. Down the hall came three clowns, complete with red nose, big lapel flower, and massive shoes.

I don't like clowns. I'm not sure I ever really have, but I had an undergrad roommate that was clown-phobic. Some of her terror must've rubbed off on me because I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. I contemplated ducking back into my apartment, but decided I wasn't that scared. So I followed the group down the stairs.

You know how the circus always has the little car and about 60 clowns come out of it during their act? Well, they have that experience outside of the circus as well. When the clowns reached the parking lot just ahead of me, I noticed their destination: a Volkswagen beetle. There were already at least 3 other clowns inside.

So my question is this: how do a minimum of six clowns fit inside a beetle? And I have another question: why would six clowns cram themselves inside a beetle anyway? And I guess I have a third question: wouldn't all their noses be honking and lapel flowers squirting? I've never even ridden in a bug car, but I'm pretty positive that six clowns can't fit without some sort of serious ramifications.

That ought to explain some things

Flip--AACCKK!! Now I'm not only terrified of clowns, but now I'm scared that the clowns in my apartment building were just investigating and learning their way around so they can kill me!! Thanks a lot for scaring me!!

You're most welcome, m'lady

When a circus is in town I rather take the long-cut (as opposed to shortcut, but I didn't know the word for it) to work than go anywhere near potential clowns...
