In the 1960s when I in picket lines at the University of Illinois, there was a 
clown who used the entertain the troops. Picketing is close to standing in line 
for 12 hours in its level of excitement. It looks noble and assertive, but its 
very boring. He would dress up in lots of campy outfits and strut around making 
jokes. It was incredibly helpful.

Maybe a good job for the swans. (I like that image.)
