Default Joy in Switzerland

Okay, so I don't want any flying pies. I'm an American living in Switzerland and my parents decided to be clowns when I was a kid. They clowned for the Church we attended and around the neighborhood telling other kids about Jesus, and then later for a family camp. So this is how I got into it helping them out when I was 12. None in my family do this professionally and so you could pretty much chalk me up as a newbie. I clowned last Saturday for the first time in about 6 years, handing out balloons and telling people about Jesus.

As to looks, I'm a white faced clown, with yellow hair and a mostly blue and red outfit with a few other colors.

I don't have a favorite joke - yet. Maybe you all would like to share yours so I can build up a collection :-)

I guess you can throw pies if you want to.

Joy

I always thought it would be nice to find joy in Switzerland. But, for now, I'll remain blissfully neutral.

Better watch out Swissjoy. The women around here charge a square of chocolate for each joke.

Welcome to the Forum. We have a whole category of jokes and other funnies. Glance through the old posts and see what catches your eye. Feel free to ask questions and please chime in on any discussion going.

Welcome, and get ready for some fun and great interaction. Oh by the way, we love jokes here; the cornier the better. Like: What did the deaf mute say when asked about his lunch?
