Decorating children’s hospital wards with images of clowns is likely to frighten rather than cheer young patients, research suggests.

But just think how much worse it would be if they were using mimes?

    I don’t know. You could tell the children that the mimes would be taken directly from said ward and thrown in a scorpion pit.

    That would cheer the little bastards up I expect.

    Especially if you did it.
