shtick stacks

Clowns are bald but must wear hats or helmets or wigs at all times. You will never see a bald clown ***obsessed with head wear, love to shop for hats***. Clowns will lose their inspiration if they do now wear a hat or somehow cover their scalps ***head security is big, screw on, code access hats, hacksaw break ins***, the ideas escape. The inspiration leaves their heads. 

A bald clown will develop these head buds, these coned tumor like things begin to grow out of their heads. Eventually they pop off and run away. It is pretty gross and monkeys will do anything to knock off a clown’s hat and then immobilize them so they can’t stop their inspiration from getting away ***breaking their arms, hanging them upside down, catching the inspiration into bowls, lighting the ideas on fire*** 

Clowns are supposed to do the right thing and take lost inspirations and report them at the funny lost and found, but some wicked clowns just keep collecting them for themselves, hoarding them. This is sad and where sad clowns come from, clowns who have lost and have no more ideas for their shtick. They are called shtick wits. The inspiration tumors are called shtick stacks. They are gold to clowns. Other clowns feel sorry for clowns who have lost their shtick stacks. It’s like losing a kid. 

In the funny lost and found you have shtick stacks locked in cages and clowns patrol the aisles and talk to them to see if they are their lost jokes. If they are the lost jokes, the clowns will laugh hysterically and then eat the screaming and terrified shtick stacks. 

Some clowns go nuts and rob the lost and founds. Desperate for a fix, they eat dozens of stacks and end up insane and useless. They are housed in mental institutions and are used as oracles. If a clown is caught stealing another’s joke, like in showbiz, it is punishable by public execution. You have to have prove that it was your joke first, by time coded video tape, and once proven the execution is staged by committee and you are allowed to shoot the clown in the head in the center of town square.


***all clowns want to get into the adult film industry, but are black listed because it is controlled by monkeys***


***it is a given that a clown will have at least one body buried in their basement, a corpse garden***

***silverbacks are the most aggressive monkeys, and they wear these silver shiny jackets and hang out in roller rings***
