If we only knew the truth

As the days have gone by, we know less about Krappo the Klown than we did when we first met him. To say it is a story of lies, expects that you know the truth. We know neither…

Krappo has, as best as we can know, four wives. Well, actually three and one imaginary that we can never meet, and she never leaves. Some days he calls her Joy, but we think those are the days she isn’t by his side.

Jack, Jim, and José appear to be his best friends, sometimes. They seem to come and go. When Krappo has money, they come around, just as you would expect any mooch.

That is why we offer these suggestions for when you meet Krappo:

First - NEVER have any money on you. When you leave Krappo, it will be gone.

Second - NEVER talk to, or touch his friends Jack, Jim, or José

Third - NEVER stand down wind of Krappo. This can’t be emphasized enough. Don’t let him stand upwind of you. You may not die, but, you may get a contact drunk. We don’t even know how it happens. Just one minute your sober thinking clearly, next your bathing in a water fountain.

There are more suggestions, but how often do you find yourself under a bridge at 4a wondering where you friends Jim, Jack, and José have run off to?
