smartass remarks; you know I’m referring to professionals.) Barring that, you have to go to school to learn the basics. The Ringling Brothers Circus, biggest of the “big tops,” runs a clown college, where you learn everything from juggling to how to paint your face to how to stand on your head. After graduating, you start at the bottom, with low pay.
