Second, you would know that this clown is an awfully bad clown when his or her car has to be started with a breathalizer device. The third is very obvious for he or she would be screaming around that his or her name is BO-zo and not bo-ZO. Fourth, he or she keeps referring to Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, and the kids just keep getting lost in this. Fifth, he or she gets himself ready for his or her "disappearing" trick, using your wide-screen television and a moving van. Here is the next batch of the signs you need to familiarize yourself with to be able to know about hiring the wrong or right clown.
