Joggling does not require a red nose
Here’s an example of why it’s unfortunate juggling is associated with clowns. This is a print media ad put together by the Y&R Agency for readers in Australia and New Zealand.
The picture is amusing enough but jogglers are not clowns. Neither are jugglers for that matter. Joggling IS a sport. No red noses are required.
Weird World of Sports indeed! I really prefer the term “eccentric”.

When I used to juggle regularly, I frequently had to deal with the clown comments. I just acted like I had no idea what the person was talking about.
I knew it! It’s now in print so I can actually BELIEVE it now! LOL. People associate juggling with clowns because the two are most often seen together. This is a classic case of guilt by association! But we all know better 🙂
Yeah, I stopped wearing a red nose back in 1995.
