        Oh, so you've met my Dr. then @culturekills? I have so much less anxiety when he squirts anesthetic into my face from a flower. @avantgame

        @tdotrob @avantgame Nah, I'd have a lot of anxiety in that situation, as I think The Joker is your doctor.

        @avantgame The idea of clowns helping with anything was always a puzzle to me...

        @avantgame what about clowns playing video games? Or games with clowns in them? I bet dunking a clown in a dunk tank would help.

        Study comparing videogames to clowns for decreasing pre-op anxiety. Results: RT @avantgame "Videogames: Work. Clowns: No. Just. No."
