Read this article in the NYT about Jack Handey, writer of "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" and for a sample of his very first entry of this bit on SNL, I give you exhibit A:
"To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time when I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad." - Jack Handey
Read the article for yourself. I can tell you, it gives me hope that even at his level, sometimes finding the funny can still be a complete mystery.
