Clown Man

Today's freak of nature story was a strange looking sort of weeping clown workie.

I saw this guy on Gordon Street a few weeks ago. To describe how he was dressed I must start at the bottom and work up.

He had workie's steel capped beige workboots on, baggy trousers, some form of grey smock, and there it stopped being normal. On top of the smock he had a fluorescent tabard over this, and brightly coloured strings of plastic pearls, the like you might see draped around the neck of Mardi Gras ladies and catching on their nipples. On his head he had a soft clown style hat, which splayed off in different directions, and had small bobbles on the end of each piece. Over this , there was numerous orange and yellow strings which looked as though they had just been dropped on top.

Then his face. He'd even painted his face. But not in some sort of traditional clown style. It seems he'd tried to paint on tears, all over his face, but it just looked as though his face was a mass of running paint. And the only colour he'd used was grey.

What am extremely bizarre man.
