Send in the Clowns

If you should find yourself making casual conversation with someone who, during the course of the conversation, informs you that her father is clown, it's probably best not to ask her if he does the 'Silence-of-the-Lambs-in-front-of-the-mirror-dance' while he's putting on his make-up.

You might also want to refrain from referring to her later as 'clown blood.'

Just saying.
