Once upon a time, there was a boy named Billy who loved clowns. He loved them so much that he had posters of them all over his wall, and pictures of them everywhere. One day, his parents took him to the circus to see all of the clowns. He was so excited. In the middle of the show, a tiny little car came out and out came twenty clowns, and he started cheering so loud he couldn't speak for a couple minutes afterwards. Just then, the Leader of the Clowns took a microphone and asked for a volunteer. Billy raised his hand and shouted ''Me! Me!'' The clown looked around and said ''You!'' as he pointed at Billy. He was ecstatic.

Billy joined the clown on the floor. The clown looked down at him and asked, ''Are you a horse's nose?'' Billy said ''No...'' ''Are you a horse's ears?'' ''No...'' The clown then looked Billy point-blank in the eye and said, ''Then you must be the horse's ass!'' The whole tent shook with laughter, and Billy began to sob. He couldn't believe that a clown would make fun of him like that. He swore revenge.

Billy grew up, he went to college, got a job, got married, and had a few kids, but still never forgot what that clown did to him. One morning he saw an ad in the paper for the same circus, and decided to go. He knew the perfect insult to pay the clown back for what he had done. When he told his wife and children he was going, his kids asked if they could go to the circus with him. He calmly said, ''No. Daddy has something he needs to do there.''

So Billy went to the circus, and in the middle of the show, the little car came out and out came the twenty clowns. The whole crowd cheered, all except for Billy. The Leader of the Clowns took a microphone.

When the clown asked for a volunteer, Billy calmly raised his hand. The clown picked him! Billy joined the clown on the floor. The clown said ''Are you a horse's nose?''

"No," Billy said. "I am not a horse's nose."

The clown asked ''Are you a horse's ears?''

"No," Billy replied. "Not a horse's ears."

The clown then said ''Then you must be the horse's ass!''

Billy knew his time had come. As the crowd laughed, and everyone cheered, his anger grew. Now was the time for revenge. He looked deep into the clown's eyes, took a deep breath, and said,

''Fuck you, Clown.''
