Swiss actor Dominic Deville was watching horror movies when he came up with an idea for a lucrative new career. He rents himself out to kids parties as the “Evil Clown”. When a parent hires him, he starts taunting the birthday boy or girl with frightening texts, calls and letters warning them that at some point during the party he’s going to smash a cake in their faces. He then shows up in scary make-up and actually does it.
- I think he got the idea from watching the movie “Rosemary’s Bozo”
- Correct me if I’m wrong… but I think this guy was hired to help get the Health Care Bill passed.

Two men in New Hampshire are under arrest for a series of burglaries in Maine. Turns out the men were out on probation on drug charges and were wearing electronic monitoring ankle bracelets. A simple check of the records placed them at the scene of every robbery.
- In their defense, the guys said they thought the ankle tethers were just “really cool 3-D tattoos. “
Speaking of criminals…
Two men escaped from a maximum security prison in Argentina and evaded 300 cops for a week by pretending to be sheep. They reportedly stole two sheep hides complete with heads from a ranch and spent their time blending in with the herd.
- They were almost caught a few days ago when someone spotted them having breakfast at the local Ram’s Horn.
- If they hadn’t been sheered, who knows how long they would have been on the lamb.
- If I were them, I’d deep six the sheep outfits before going to the slammer. That would be baaaaad all around.
- Is it just me… or does this sound like the beginning of “Brokeback Mountain – The Sequel”?

Researchers at Wayne State University studied photos of 230 major league baseball players dating back to 1952 and found that those with the widest grins and deepest laugh lines lived an average of seven years longer than their teammates with glum expressions.
- The bad news is you end up with a ton of wrinkles. The even worse news is you have seven more years to worry about the economy… but at least your alive.
- Something just occurred to me… Do baseball players think about baseball during sex?

On this day in 1865, President Lincoln was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth – at the time, the biggest star in the country. I think if Honest Abe had been around to watch the alleged “stars” on DWTS he would have shot himself.
