what to say when your called a “clown” i was thinking of remarks when called a clown or other stuff what would you say
I would say: No, I’m riding a unicycle, you’re a ******* clown.

I remember a comment I got a while back:
Hiker: “Haha, the circus is in town!”
Me: “Really, what time do you go on?” 
Alternate: “Yep, and I hear they’re looking for clowns like you!” 
(Helps to say it with humor in your voice to show that you are just having fun, but also giving as good (better!) as you get!
I’ve never actually had any abuse while unicycling - just a lot of odd looks and people pointing and smiling and saying “that’s amazing!”
I guess I’ve been lucky!
lol
i must admit chrome that was pretty funny and unigeezer and evreyone thanks for comments
I would reply to them that most court jesters are very talented and athletic to be able to pull off what they do. A lot of their accomplishments are something to aspire to.
I agree. the same as when someone thinks you are gay or a musician or anything else. Best to say: I’m flattered to be considered a member of such a wonderful group, but I cannot accept credit as a clown.
I usually respond with “Does that mean i have a sense of humour?” They get so confused after i have said that.
I just say No or Nope. People hate it as long as thats all you say to respond to them.
There’s a lot missing from this question. Everyone seems to be assuming he is being called a clown for something to do with unicycling. What were you doing when you got called a clown? Be specific. 
If I’m riding a unicycle and someone just says “Clown!” My response would probably be “Where?” while looking around. If someone asks “Are you a clown?” or “Are you in the circus?” my response has often been “No, are you?” But this should depend on the spirit in which the question was asked. Some people ask honestly, usually small kids. You can tell if it’s asked for real or not. What’s harder to tell is whether they just want to be annoying, or if it’s a weak attempt at starting a conversation with you about unicycling…
yeah iwas on a unicycle this is unicyclistcommunity so id think someone would of figured out i was on a unicycle
Are you saying when people ask you that, it’s usually a pick up line?
Why do you have to say anything? Why justify peoples’ snide remarks with a response?
We “would of” assumed it, but we might also assume that people post only on the topic here, which they don’t.
Now be specific.
yeah what ever but ido like your website i must admit thats pretty cool what do you do to start a website
Until I read this thread, I never thought anything of the fact that LOTS of people smile and laugh at me as I ride up Flatbush Avenue on my unicycle, with my cute dog on leash, or juggling 3 clubs all the way to the Park.
But now I understand that these smiling laughing people are denigrating me.
They’re not smiling with pleasure at seeing me and my cute dog, they’re not smiling at the pleasure of seeing someone juggling while unicycling on a Coker.
They’re actually putting me down! They think I’m some kind of a CLOWN! And that’s BAD!
So now, to save the reputation of all unicyclists, whenever someone laughs or smiles at me while unicycling, I cuss them out!
Thanks, everyone, for setting me straight on this. We’ve got to keep up unicyclists good reputation, and not let people think they can laugh at us!
Who’s with me on this?

What do you want to be called?
It just looks different to civvies when they see us on unicycles…
To me clown ain’t bad … I bought my house being one. Better to me than “Hey Executive” or “Yo’ Appraiser” or “Hey Plumber”… (nothing wrong or bad about those jobs. Just not for me.)

I like saying, Who are you calling a clown you f@#% a*^ho%#.
No, too extreme.
Once a guy saw me riding on the street and asked me if I could juggle. I said in my lame hawaiian pigeon accent, “Me No Clown”.
He then said “I was just asking because I used to be a clown and had a unicycle/juggling act.” I laugh and said “Cool”
