The clown lives in bafflement. She is best when she doesn’t understand what is happening.
This phrase for example is pretty baffling. I would like to watch a clown try to work out how to tickle someone’s lungs. Or figure out what o’th’sere might be. Or solve the grammar of “lungs are tickle.” Would she find her own lungs suddenly tickling her? That would be a funny clown turn. Clown with tickling lungs. I would watch that show.
