Teen Challenge campus resident Timothy M. Birman, 32, of Middleville plays his alter-ego "Bubbles the Clown" to attract passing motorists to a fund-raising car wash on the corner of S. Michigan and Stephens in Saginaw. Teen Challenge hosts car washes every Thursday through Saturday for donations to help defray costs at the facility. Birman runs, jumps and gyrates to try and get people with dirty cars to stop. He said that he gets plenty of smiles and (car horn) honks from passersby and some actually come in to get their cars washed

A clown has joy with participants during AEMI international clown carnival in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province September 30, 2007. More than 70 comedians from 15 countries all over the world amused a great number of participants at the carnival.

This photo is striking for the drama, the look of comic disdain on the face of the clown and the policeman avoiding eye contact, most likely holding back the laughter.
