Would it be offensive to ask if they've gotten their morning paper yet? Then whip out the toilet paper?
I've heard of this one being done before, and it's more of a funny "duh" moment than offensive.

Big fan of Brown-Es.

The best I can tell you in not to worry, and don't be nervous. (I am an actor, I know that nevers come easily and stay long past their welcome.) Before you walk in, take a few deep breaths (be sure to exhale too!), and just tell yourself how wonderful and funny you are. The one thing I've learned in theatre is that the people who seem confidant to the audience (even if they're sweating bullets and shaking at the knees) are the ones who do the best. Just relax! You're a clown...you get to make mistakes.

Oh, and if you have leg troubles, can you borrow a wheely office chair, decorate it up so it's clown-y, and then wheel around in it. Maybe put a steering wheel on the chair, and "drive" it around the office.
