Playing the buffoon is my hobby. Awile back some people were talking about emergency readiness. I joined the conversation and said – being prepared and knowing what to do in an emergency can be life saving – like during an earthquake you have to remember to Stop Drop And Roll. The look on their faces was pretty funny. Cheers!
You may be confusing a Joker for a Buffoon - they are totally different. Same like there is a big difference between a clown and a Buffoon. Clowns sometimes get their laughs at the expense of other (like the old water squirting flower or the bucket of confetti). But Buffoons never get their laughs at the expense of others – they make themselves the butt of the joke. And that’s the way I like it. Cheers!
