Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy, and it was his tenth birthday, and his mom went out to a toy store, and was looking for a gift for Tim's birthday.

So, when she got to the store she saw a clown that had 5 fingers upon one hand, and two fingers upon the other. The mom thought it meant "hi" and "peace".

So she went to the counter and asked, "How much is this?"

The man at the counter said, "That's not for sale!"

The mom said, "I'll give you $1,000."

"Nope."

"How about $2,000?"

"No."

"$1,000,000?"

"Ok, but DON"T leave ANYONE alone with the clown!"

The mom said, "Ya, ya, ya."

Then she wrapped up the clown, and gave it to Tim.
