Clown car physics:  “How many clowns go in car is a mix of Clown Politics (CP), Clown Size (CS), Clown Flexibility (CF), General Survivability (GS), and the critical Maximum Clown Hilarity (MCH) quotient.”

…

“How many clowns (X) that can be stuffed into any Clown Car (CC) can be expressed in this simple equation:

However, it’s the mixture of various clown types being shoved into the subject car that results in Maximum Clown Hilarity. Using the Relative Hilarity  Threshold of a six-year-old boy (RHT6) as a denominator, this can all be expressed in this straightforward equation:

Of course, the equation above doesn’t account for the use of  Wacky Props (WP), Improvised Pratfalls (IP), Goofball Mugging (GM), or Generalized Anarchy (GA). Throw those in, and the equation grows in its usefulness, elegance, and mathematical subtlety.”
