No clowning around!

You think the weather's been bad around here, in parts of England they're experiencing a bad drought. So bad in fact, they're asking circus clowns to not use water. Imagine...no "dribble glasses," no spilling a bucket of water on one another, not even a flower that squirts water! This is horrible, but it could be worse. Perhaps next they'll be prevented from all piling into a small car (not enough seat belts for them all I'm sure.) Or maybe a leather shortage will require them to stop wearing those oversize shoes. And don't get me started on the face paint...between the clowns and Tammy Faye, the manufacturers can't keep up!
