Evil Plastic Santa:Clown Car Tragedy of 1997
The saddest thing in the world/with ironic undertones, other than a clown in an iron lung, was a horrifying accident that happened in Denver some years ago. Does one laugh and find the humor funny or does appreciate a greater meaning to it all, when one thinks about what happened. How should one feel when they think about a horrible accident involving clown gag cars.
Five clowns, heading from a clown convention held at the Denver Ramada conference room on "Improving Communication through Balloon Animals", were heading to a local Tex-Mexican resteraunt - which was owned by a Korean man - during their lunch break. ALL OF A SUDDEN, without warning one of the cars swivveled out of control in such a way that cars behind moved around furiously and so fast that they did not notice the four clown cars in motorcade behind them. Clown gag cars that each held twelve: sixty clowns in all. Officer Newhart, working the scene described it as: "the worst and most ironically hilarious of accidents in the last forty-seven years. I was thinking about submitting some sort of essay or something to the reader's digest or something: "Clown Cars: A Tale of Tragedy" - something along those lines. But part of me thought that it might be in poor taste to do something like that. A rookie cop brought the special hilarious police ribbon but we told them that was in bad taste and he went home for the day to sulk. I thought that wasn't really neccessary but he insisted," he went on and on and concluded forty-five minutes later by saying: "This is funniest tragedy in nearly a half century. I myself have never laughed and cried so much in one sitting since watching: Sophie's Choice."
The Killer Clown Car Tragedy of 1997. Did it happen: probably not, but could it? No, probably not; but in the world of Evil Plastic Santa: who knows.
