    Isn’t that really Chuckles the Clown from The Mary Tyler Moore Show episode called “Chuckles Bites the Dust” (October 25, 1975)? In that episode, Chuckles is hired as the grand marshal for a circus parade (after news anchor Ted Baxter is told to decline). At the parade, he dressed as a popular character, Peter Peanut. Tragedy struck when “…a rogue elephant tried to shell him…,” and he died from his injuries.

    Just remember Chuckles’ philosophy: “A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants.”

    Radish, I’ve been reading these comments for a few months – and yours today was far and above the funniest one yet. Also, Digital Frog, yours was quite good too. This medical specialist thing seems to be gettting totally out of hand.

    Oh yeah just like he’s going to jump up and follow her down the hall to wait in room 3 until the doctor comes in after a while. We wonder who put him in that chair. Maybe Zorro the sword swallower? Radish, don’t give up – we could team up and give digital frog a hop for his money.
