BOOGERSCHNITZ
Har-D-Har-Har Clown University was the university to graduate from. All the well known clowns graduated from there. Ronald McDonald, Clem Kadiddlehopper, Bozo, Jack-In-The-Box. Top of their class. Each and every one of them went on to have very successful careers. Bryce Boogerschnitz decided that he was going to be added to that famous list one day and so it was, that Har-D-Har-Har U granted admission to Bryce and things never were the same after.
The first three years were getting all the basics down of being a good clown. How to walk in over sized shoes, drive a clown car, learning jokes, making balloon
characters and just learning how to be a good clown. Mr. Boogerschnitz excelled in everything that the professors threw his way. Making fun of the bands that paraded down the main street of town in funny red outfits to dodging trees that were all about the campus while being chased by bulls. He passed them all with flying colors. As a matter of fact, he was one the Dean’s list all three of those years.
Then came his
Senior year. During the half time show featuring Har-D-Har-Har Clown Choral Ensemble at the annual Clown Fest Hula Show, Bryce decided he had bigger fish to fry. He knew there were some big names that graduated from his college and they all were rich and famous but he decided that he could even be bigger. Leaving the stadium fully
decked out in his official clown getup Bryce went to the barn holding all the bulls. He undid the latch, waved his red handkerchief at them and started running for his life with all the bulls chasing him. Out into the middle of the stadium he went with the Ensemble parting as if it were the Red Sea.
Bryce ran the entire length of the stadium and leaped up into the far row of seats knowing that the bulls could not follow him there. The clown cheers rose from the stadium. The bulls, as if a spell was cast upon them, did a 180 and ran right back to the barn and the Ensemble continued their half time show.
And you must know that when the devil rides to work on a snow mobile is the day that there is a clown named Bryce Boogerschnitz!
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou







A university for becoming a clown ???? I thought that was a natural talent, lol ! My son didn’t need any University he did the clown at school the whole way through ! (Not very appreciated by certain teachers)

Oops, that should have said you had me right up until the last sentence.
