A clown walks into a bar.<br>
The bartender says "We don't serve clowns here."<br>
The clown says "I'm not really a clown, I'm dressing up as one for a hallowe'en party later tonight."<br>
The bartender says "Hallowe'en isn't until next week."<br>
"Yes, but it's an early party."<br>
"All right, you can stay. Just don't do anything clownish."
<p>
Minutes later a second clown walks into the bar.<br>
The bartender says "Hey, no clowns."<br>
The clown says "I'm not a clown. I'm dressing as a clown for the party later tonight."<br>
"So there is a party?"<br>
"Yes. It's just down the street. You should join us."<br>
The bartender thought about this and decided he needed to watch bar for the night so he couldn't make it. "Maybe next time," he said.
<p>
A third clown comes in.<br>
"Are you going to the party?" the bartender asks.<br>
"No, I'm a clown."<br>
"I'm sorry, but we don't serve clowns here."<br>
The clown whispered in the bartender's ear for a few moments.<br>
The bartender says "Okay, you can stay."<br>
In a few moments, the third clown went to the bathroom. One of the other two leaned over to the bartender and said "What did he say?"
