If by chance some day you're not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I've said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.

Any kid will run any errand for you, if you ask at bedtime.

I personally believe we were put here to build and not to destroy.
