Sad Clown News- Krusen

Sad Clown: Circus Bars Giant, Floppy Shoes Due to 'Health' Concerns










Fox News and the Sun Report: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517738,00.html

{News article altered for humorous intent and fun}

A circus has saddened a clown after telling him he could no longer wear giant, floppy shoes due to health and safety concerns.

The circus' safety adviser, Harry Halfwitt made the ruling after clown Mark Krusen fell 9-feet and broke his foot during a tight-rope act at a show in Liverpool, England.

He was told that his wacky size 18 shoes violated the circus' insurance policy. Krusen said the ruling is unjustified and started to whine like a spoiled child.

“I feel fine despite the sore foot and I think if I don’t wear the big boots the impact might be lost on the audience," he said. “But now I’ve got to do the balancing act in normal sized shoes and it just won’t be the same.”

Krusen, 60+, hoped to carry on as normal with the Moscow State Circus after his fall during a show at Sefton Park in Liverpool.

His routine includes getting dressed while walking along a cable, and playing drums, trumpet, handing out liberal propaganda literature, and double bass all at the same time.

The safety adviser said the oversized shoes make the act too dangerous.

“The problem is he can’t feel the wire between his feet with the boots on," said Halfwitt. "He’s walking blind.” Krusen responded by saying "what's new".

This is Sad News indeed, Mr. Krusen who has been a clown masquerading as a human being for countless years; and is now out of work and discovering that life isn't a whole lot of clowning around once that pay checks stop arriving.

Please go over to Mark's Blog - JustaKrusen aka Grumpy Old Fart and give him the encouragement and support he needs during this time of monumental change and suffering {Not as in changing his " Super Man Depends for the incontinent and inactive adult clown either"}.
