An Italian man stares at the clown

His name is Angelo. He believes he wants to be a clown, too. I warn him "to become a clown is to be hated by the entire world. It is to become the most popular corpse in the entire cemetery because people prayed for your death each day you were alive." Angelo says he hates the world right back, so he wants to be a clown as a form of revenge against them. I give him the costume and paint his face, knowing that it cannot be washed off no matter how hard you try. Once you become a clown, you are a clown forever.
