Auckland ad man Joshua Jack said he sensed the bad news when he received an email from his agency employer telling him they needed to have a meeting to discuss his role this week.

“It did talk about being able to bring a support person,” Jack said of the email in an interview with a local radio station.

He knew he needed a professional. So he paid $200 to hire a clown.

Lol. Bizarre. I wonder if someone will read it and give him another job.

Better than showing up with a machine-gun or a psychiatric-support-tiger.

There once was a fellow named Jack
Whose boss told him never come back
He had brought in a clown
When the boss let him down
To remove some stress of the sack.

Once Jack had hired the clown, he had to go through with it. Why?

Because a mime is a terrible thing to waste!

I think it's a pretty cute idea.

If I were about to lose my income, I wouldn't waste $200 on an "emotional support clown."

Well, it's better than what some people have been showing up with, and then murdering a bunch of the former co-workers...

Amen to that, Brother. Bozo himself is always preferable to some bozo with a flamethrower.

To the post, congratulations to Jack for providing me with my chuckle for the day, especially if he meant it as I'm taking it - as an opportunity to inject some humor and sarcastic commentary on current societal trends into an otherwise negative experience. If I were the hiring manager who interviews him for a future position, he'd get extra points for his ingenuity.
