It takes a special kind of man (yes, women usually aren’t quite this crazy) to dress up as a clown and taunt a two thousand pound angry bull for their career. Specially, the rodeo clown is supposed to distract the other crazy person in the rodeo ring, the bull rider, when he is thrown from the bull. What do rodeo clowns call themselves when they are telling people what they do for a living or trying to “pick up a cowgirl” at their local “watering hole?” The politically correct term for the rodeo clown is a “rodeo protection athlete.”
