Whammo the Gospel Clown was prepared to be persecuted for his street preaching, but he hadn’t anticipated being detained for “creepin’ out the neighborhood kids.”

Caption #2:
Even though it comes with the costume, the giant squirting flower on the lapel should never be used by clown evangelists while handing out gospel tracts.

Angus,
Yes, the reason the squirting flower got him in trouble was because he didn’t announce aforehand that he was using it to perform baptism.

Yeah, but you didn’t mention what that flower squirted….anointed holy water, that was touched by the anointed hands of Rick Warren and Joel Osteen…..
The Police didn’t appreciate being squirted with holy water….and especially by a WOF clown….
Was he arrested for preaching a watered down clown gospel message or was his costume an offense to the color impaired citizens?

I bet the officer is saying, “Get me some back-up here NOW!! This dude is really creeping me out”.

Cop (to clown) “Watch it Bozo, you have the right to remain silent……If you try to do any funny stuff, I’ll take you in to the station and maybe a night in jail will straighten you out!”

Whammo was actually relieved to see the policeman after enduring the relentless kicking and poking from the unruly neighborhood kids.

Actually this is the Bible Police and he’s arresting apostasy in it’s tracks.
