I got this costume for a party earlier this year.  I figured a clown would be a lot safer than the security officer uniform I got last Halloween.  I like the costume and all, but a strange thing happens when I wear it.  Everybody stops and asks me about being serious or something.  I'm like: "I'm dressed as a clown, how can you think I'm being serious?"  It happens without fail, I am at a loss.  Otherwise, great costume.
