history: I was at a birthday party and saw a clown the other day.  It was a scary clown.  I didn't like it and I had nightmares afterwards I don't understand why people dress up like clowns.  I think they are pretty freaky.  Like what would make you want to do that?
current: im not sure i think its just an old tradition
