    Default Phobia: Clowns

    My Mrs has a deep phobia of clowns. Most folk find them funny. I've bought a DVD of Killer Klowns From Outer Space, do you think it will kick her out of her phobia??

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Before you let her see it I would suggest you find a good divorce solicitor.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    I think it will be you who is kicked out of her phobia, if you insist she watch it.

    Oooohhhh you are naughty rheghead

    Make her watch it i say. just be on the look out for the silent treatment or missles coming your way

    The best way to beat a phobia is to face it head on. My example of that is that i am terrifed of heights but i am going to do a sponspored sky dive hopefully in november or sometime next year. Doing it for the NSPCC and if doing something that means being in a place where i am terrified then what bigger drive to do it is there than for raising money to help abused children.

    Not to you, obviously. The mind is a powerful thing. I hope you don't live to regret your proposed "experiment".

    I'm not a fan of clowns either so Mrs R has my deepest sympathy. I suspect this is a wind-up Rheghead, you wouldn't, you would not, you just so, absolutely would not ... ? Would you ?

    Hopefully he's just clowning around with us, Moira!

    She saw the DVD and she thought it was very tame. Bit disappointed in her reaction. I'll get IT now.

    So going to see 'Circus Berlin' is probably not top of your priorities at the moment.........

    If you don't like clowns, I don't know how you put up with your next-door neighbour.

    I had to do that at the Take That concert, in one section of the show they sat on stage making themselves up as clowns, it was horrible!!

    I wonder just how many people have actually got a phobia about clowns and how many people just say they do.

    Its like the "you just made me spit tea on my keyboard" comments I see on other websites where someone writes something funny. No one actually spits tea on their keyboard, they just say they do.

    Its a fat guy in make up. Whats to be scared of ??

    they look EVIL.

    I am terrified of them. I took my kids to macdobalds one day, and Ronald McDonald was there. I could feel my blood go cold and started to shake, and i KNOW its just a bloke dressed up.
