A corrida clown with barrel would lend color to the bullring and distract an angry bull about to make the bullfight gory.
Also if the bull can oust a cowboy from its back within 10 seconds, its life will be spared. In that case, instead of an ear, the matador should be presented with a clown-sculpted balloon dog.
Apprentice clowns would train with mechanical bar bulls and final exams will take place on Pamplona street corners.-- FarmerJohn, May 17 2005 rodeo clown http://www.abc.net....cripts/s1233829.htm [FarmerJohn, May 18 2005] Maybe the crowds could hurl peeled plum tomatos at the "would be run clowns" to get everyone right into the spirit of things.-- skinflaps, May 18 2005 random, halfbakery
