Trivia

Scaramouche Jones, the local professional circus clown spent most of his lunch-hour painting his portrait on an eggshell. The portrait looked realistic enough, but he was not a serious painter. Moreover, his artistic rendition was not done for fun.
Why would Scaramouche be doing this?
Why would Scaramouche be doing this?
Answer
Scaramouche was a professional clown who tried to have a unique face. By painting his face on an eggshell, his face is actually copyrighted and the egg is deposited with the International Clown's Club in a bank vault in England.If someone copies another clown's face, that person is actually stealing the clown's spirit.
When a clown dies, the egg is crushed. All that is left of the clown's spirit are fragments of the eggshell.
