"Don't Bother To Tip The Waitresses! We Won't Be Here All Week."

I'd say this is the definition of a tough crowd: Colombia clowns killed on stage

Two circus clowns have been shot dead during a performance in the eastern Colombian city of Cucuta, police say.

The attacker jumped into the arena and fired before fleeing, police chief Jose Humberto Henao told Efe news agency.

Local reports say the audience of about 20 people, mostly children, thought the shooting was part of the show before realising both men had been killed.


The article goes on to tell us that this isn't the first clown murder in Columbia.

It's ironic... in the movies, the clown is usually the killer.

Please feel free to hum Graham Parker's "They Murdered The Clown".
