Clown School

Does anyone have a major party coming up? Try this routine with a friend. It works better if you practice it a lot before the big event!!

"That's good/that's bad" routine
The first clown narrates the gag, the second responds alternately with "that's good / that's bad":

"I found a dog."
"That's good" (noncommittally).
"It wasn't a hot dog though" (showing the dog).
"That's too bad" (looking at the dog, wistfully).
"He's really friendly ..."
"Oh, that's good" (agreeably).
"... with people's legs."
"Well that’s bad" (appalled).
"He doesn't eat much."
"That's good" (nodding agreeably).
"He sure poops a lot though."
"That's bad" (that stinks expression).
"He's housebroken."
"That’s good" (of course it is).
"No that's bad: he did some jail time for the last housebreak."
"Okay, then that's bad" (willing to be corrected).
"No that's good: it was his second offense. He's gone straight now."
"That's ... uhhh ... good?" (confused now).
"No that's bad, he's gone straight for your pastrami sandwich!"

This bit is also seen with other "good/bad" interjections: perhaps "that's fortunate/unfortunate" or even (with a pair of two "Surfer Dude" clowns) as "Dude that rocks!/Man, that bites".

Note that a clown would likely choose the word pastrami rather than corned beef, because pastrami is a funny word and corned beef is not.

So clowns prefer:

monkey wrenches to "spanners"
doohickeys to "gadgets"
kitchen gadgets to "small appliance"
monikers to "nicknames"
and a clown would much prefer to be

fidgety than "restless".
