Some of my best friends are clowns. I know that sounds like a line, but it\’s true. Jewish clowns, too. Back East, there\’s Dr. Meatloaf and Dr. Noodle (aka Stephen Ringold and Ilene Weiss). They\’re in the CCU, the \”Clown Care Unit\” of the Big Apple Circus. Like badchens (Yiddish for clown) for the broken up, they play hospitals instead of weddings.
