The Clown Paradox: the more negative the online review of a clown is, the funnier the clown sounds
An online review of a local clown says: “Not what I had hoped for Disappointed. We agreed he would bring balloons for $20. He showed up with 3 or 4 saying one got away from him. Spent time playing a video game. Walked on the bowling alley - and fell down (needed to have the bowling alley shoes). Clothing seemed unkept. Clown face makeup was scant.”

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

Man buys an acid tab. Goes home and leaves it on the kitchen table. Goes upstairs. Comes back down later and it's disappeared. Says to his Mum "have you seen my tablet?" Mum says "never mind your tablet. There's a dragon on the shed."
