Is this the infamous "Dog Pie" act of the Sherman Brothers?

"Unknown Clowns"?

Not by a long shot

I love Joe's wig, wardrobe and white shoes in this picture. What a really great look. Something about white clown shoes always says "classic" to me.

We did the stomach pump gag many times in “The Great Western Stampede” at that Ringling Park in Central Florida. In the pump was a piglet and within a few weeks the piglet would get too big for the pump. Well the cowboys made arrangements with the local farmers and butchers and a Pig Roast in the pigs honor happened every other month. And you’re right Pat, where is a clown supposed to go to find an affordable pair of good chaps?
