stand up comedian ?

These are all synonyms : clown, joker, comedian, fool, jester, entertainer, slapstick comedian, comic, mess about, wit, buffoon, artiste, humorist...

Those who identify with one of these, tell me - which one of these are you?

(just a joke, folks)

Always wanted to figure out how do clowns, comedians etc manage to be happy all the time?

Are they really, really happy and thus make all around laugh?

Are they laughing because they can't help it, whether or not they are happy?

Did their parents want them to become jesters, so here they are?

My feeling is, that clowns carry the world on their shoulders, making us laugh in our happy and not so happy moments, helping us see the way through life laughing :)
