Hoboken, NJ
Inside sources close to Bizarre Hoboken have learned that the Hoboken Parking Utility may start using clowns on unicycles to wrote parking tickets. Local officials feel that it is too easy to spot an HPU officer hence allowing people to run to the meters and drop in quarters before the agents get there.
"We are losing a lot of money at the meters. We need to figure out a way to fool the public" says one official.
Clowns are friendly characters and many people get lots of laughs. Local people will never suspect that a clown on a unicycle is actually writing parking tickets and no standing zone tickets.
"We want to take existing HPU agents and train them in unicycling and clown acting and send them on their way. Our agents, 12 hours a day walk up and down and all around the city and we feel that being dressed up in a silly suit with some make up on and give them a mode of reliable transportation will make them want to work harder" added another local official.
