One time I was living in a very small town. We're talkin like 15,000 people small. Me and my husband were walking around in the mall during Christmas time. They had a nativity scene. I kid you not, they had a mall mannequin with a long brown curly wig for Mary, a baby doll for Jesus, (and it was obviously a doll you'd buy at any store, nothing Jesus like about it) and for the wise men, they had 3 "elves" dressed up in long robes. The "wise men" had squinty eyes and bucked teeth because they weren't suppose to be wise men at all. They were suppose to be goofy little elves, but they had them friggin dressed up like wise men!!! It was one of the weirdest/scariest/funniest things I have ever scene in my life. I have no memory of what Joseph was like, unfortunately, and I didn't get a picture of it either, stupid! I'm not religious so I wasn't offended, but I can't imagine anyone who is religious not being offended by that. It was absolutely HIL-arious.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Unfortunately, I'm not an artist.

I took my daughter to a circus a few years ago. It turned out to be a really slimy circus. We saw a clown doing balloon animals from our seats, and my daughter wanted to go get one. So we went down closer to the clown. Once we were waiting for our turn, I noticed something wasn't right with the clown. He kept attempting to make balloon animals, but everytime he tried to blow a balloon up it would pop, and he would start cursing! It turned out, he was like a hundred years old and MAJORLY drunk! His make up was all haphazard and he was scaring the living *bleep* out of me. My daughter was too little to know what the curse words were, so I tried to pretend everything was okay and fun. Cause she really wanted that balloon. But there was only a couple kids in front of us and it was taking forever because the damn balloons popped everytime he tried to do anything with them. Then another slew of profanity would emit from his mouth. He finally got one to be about the size of a small fist, and he couldn't get it to do anything, it was a red balloon, so he drew a stem on it and told the kid waiting it was an apple in the most slurred, drunken speech you can imagine. I kept thinking the whole time there is no way this is real, this has to be a joke! It was easily one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in my life!
