For those of you thinking about clown college as an alternative career, think again.

Here are some sobering stats from the entering Class of 2001 at a middle-tier clown college.

Here's something else you probably didn't know...AMCAS has also cornered the clown college market. Whether it's med school or clown school, you can't escape the wrath of AMCAS.

(FYI - Pennies were made of steel back then to save copper for the war effort).

You did spell sanskrit correctly!! :)

Very cute...made me giggle. I needed that...had an exam today that I think I knocked down, totally!!!!!! :D :D
 
That's not the half of it. Clown College is nearly impossible to get in to if you're not a Liberal Farts major.
 
I am on the floor laughing :p
 
A lot of people have been worried that the only option for graduates of clown school is residency in either the specialties of 'childrens parties' or 'circus entertainer'.

However, we are pleased to announce that with the conversion to electronic format there are now plenty of opportunities for clown employment right here at AMCAS. You will start immediately with direct patient/applicant contact. Preferably the less experience you have with admissions the better! There are many sub-specialty openings, such as: Answering a telephone (3 additional years of training), being polite (4 year fellowship), finding transcripts (almost impossible to get into!).

If your not quite incompetent enough to work for us, then don't worry. You can always work for AACOM instead.

Good luck!
 
Worst episode ever.
