Welcome Chris. And thank you to your profession. When I wanted to be a clown I went to the library and Asked if there were books on clowning.
The rest is history. And it is a privilege to return the favor.
Cheers,
Scruffy

Are you sure that wasn't the reference room?

Chris,
Maybe you don't wear greasepaint, but if you're making children happy, then you're a clown. (You aren't the only one - check out the profile of Chance Marmalade).

Glad to have you on board. A nicer bunch of bozos you'll never find.

Goodnight and may God bless." - Red Skelton
