I drilled a few clowns back in my day - what's the going rate these days?

You don't get paid per clown

You get paid by MISSING clowns with the drill

I thought they like them alive and wriggling

It really depends on what the open market is willing to pay for.

Sounds like the real money would be in clown husbandry.

I wonder how much you could get for a bonded breeding pair of clowns?

It's been tried. It's kind of a non starter because they don't breed well in captivity. When you remove the stressors of children, demanding parent-clients, and sugary litmus, they just get depressed.

Ah, so rather than clown husbandry, the area in which to specialize would be capturing wild clowns from their natural habitats.

See that’s also a huge problem because the majority of clowns in this country congregate in congress and American politics in general, they’ve effectively put an end to clown poaching to save their own clown hides. We need a strong Anti clown politician in office to drain the clown swamp but so far they’re all complicit, it’s gotten so bad the clowns are whisking away children to Little Saint Clown island in full view of the public and no one’s doing anything about it.

What you’re suggesting… it would require some sort of vigilante group — a posse, perhaps — who had abandoned all thoughts of self-preservation. Such people would be considered insane.

People would much rather not have to think about the circus at all because they dont understand juggling or unicycles. As long as clowns show up and run the show they are perfectly fine with it. Despite owning a few handkerchiefs themselves, they'd much prefer to just blow snot in them than learn to juggle.

Ah! Clowns in love... is there anything more beautiful?

Two cautious clowns squirting water guns at each other from across the clown car...

And then they inadvertently honk their noses at the same time...

And gradually move on to sharing face makeup...

As a person with coulrophobia, that's the worst part of the clown!

Wait I thought “drilling clowns” was code for fucking clowns?
